Abstract
The invention features a pharmaceutical suspension containing drug particles, a drug delivery device anchored in the oral cavity for continuous administration of the pharmaceutical suspension, and methods of use thereof.
Description
The present application is a divisional application of an inventive patent application having an application date of 2018, month 1 and 5, application number of 201680040049.7, entitled "pharmaceutical suspension containing drug particles, device for dispensing thereof, and method of use thereof".
Technical Field
The invention features pharmaceutical suspensions containing drug particles, drug delivery devices anchored in the oral cavity for continuous administration of the pharmaceutical suspensions, and methods of use thereof.
Background
The present invention relates to a device and a method for continuous or semi-continuous drug administration via the oral route. It is an object of the present invention to address a number of problems associated with drugs having short physiological half-lives of the drug (e.g., less than 8 hours, 6 hours, 4 hours, 2 hours, 1 hour, 30 minutes, 20 minutes, or 10 minutes) and/or to narrow the time window for drugs currently administered multiple times per day: it is inconvenient to take a drug which must be administered multiple times per day or in the evening, the pharmacokinetics and efficacy of the drug may be poor and the frequency and/or severity of side effects may increase. Continuous or semi-continuous dosing may be particularly beneficial for drugs with short half-lives (e.g., in plasma) and/or short persistence of the physiological effects of the drug, and/or narrow therapeutic windows, such as Levodopa (LD), muscle relaxants (e.g., baclofen for management of spasticity), antiepileptics (e.g., oxcarbazepine, topiramate, lamotrigine, gabapentin, carbamazepine, valproic acid, levetiracetam, pregabalin), parasympathomimetics (e.g., pirstim), and sleep drugs (e.g., zaleplon). Continuous or semi-continuous infusion in the oral cavity may provide for minor fluctuations in the concentration of the drug in the organ or fluid (e.g., in blood or plasma). Conveniently, the automatic dosing of the medicament may also increase patient compliance with their medication regimen, especially for patients who must take medication at night and patients with dementia.
Medical conditions managed by the continuous intraoral administration of drugs include: parkinson's disease, spasticity, muscle weakness, bacterial infections, cancer, pain, organ transplantation, sleep disorders, epilepsy and seizures, anxiety, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress disorders, cardiac arrhythmias, hypertension, heart failure, dementia, allergy, and diabetic nephropathy.
A challenge with most drug delivery devices in the prior art is that they are not designed for placement and operation in the oral cavity. The device must be designed to be small, comfortable, and non-irritating, and not interfere with speaking, swallowing, drinking and/or eating. In the mouth, saliva, food or beverage may penetrate into the drug reservoir and/or pump, thus potentially unpredictably extracting and delivering the drug, reacting with the drug, or clogging the delivery device. Pumps that have been proposed for operation in the oral cavity (such as osmotic tablets and mucoadhesive patches) often do not reliably provide a constant rate of drug delivery over extended periods of time under conditions in the oral cavity. Drinking hot or cold beverages may cause undesirable changes in drug delivery (e.g., delivery of pills). Also, sucking on the device may cause unwanted pills to be delivered. Exposure to food and liquids (such as oils, alcohols, and acids) may temporarily or permanently increase or decrease the drug delivery rate of the device. The intraoral drug delivery device must also dispense the drug into a suitable location in the oral cavity, for example, a location that can be immediately swallowed or a location where the drug does not accumulate in an undesirable manner. Accordingly, there is a need for improved drug delivery devices that can be comfortably, safely, and reliably operated in the oral cavity for extended periods of time.
Inconvenient versions of intraoral pumps have previously been proposed, for example, wherein the device may be positioned within a replacement tooth. There is a need for an improved oral drug delivery device that can be easily inserted and removed by a patient without the need to insert or remove a replacement tooth, bridge, or denture. A problem with these and other pumps (such as controlled release osmotic tablets and mucoadhesive drug delivery patches) that are located in the oral cavity and are capable of continuously delivering drugs in the oral cavity may be that they cannot be temporarily stopped once drug delivery has begun. It may be desirable to temporarily stop drug delivery so that the drug is not wasted, and more importantly so that the dispensed drug does not accumulate on the surface of the device as it is removed from the oral cavity. This variable accumulation of medication on the surface of the device can lead to undesirable delivery of a bolus of an unknown amount of medication to the patient when the device is placed back into the mouth. Maintaining an accurate drug delivery rate may also be challenging when ambient atmospheric pressure changes (e.g., during air travel or at high sea wave locations).
The pump of the present invention may provide a constant rate, continuously dispensing the drug in the oral cavity, and in some embodiments may be temporarily stopped when the device is removed from the oral cavity.
Most drugs intended for oral administration have been made as solids (e.g., pills, tablets), solutions, or suspensions that are administered one or more times per day. These drugs are not made to meet the requirements of continuous or semi-continuous, constant rate intraoral administration. For example, many suspensions and solutions have been made: relatively large daily amounts that interfere with its function (especially speech) when fitted in the oral cavity, and/or formulations that are physically and chemically unstable at body temperature during the course of a day; and pills and tablets, which are rarely made into units and dosage amounts suitable for frequent administration throughout the day.
In order to treat certain diseases, large amounts of medication must be administered. For example, for advanced Parkinson's disease, the daily dose administered to a patient is typically 1000 mg of levodopa. In order to continuously administer such large amounts of medication into the mouth for many hours in a fluid volume that comfortably fits the oral cavity (typically less than 5 mL), it is sometimes desirable to employ a concentrated (often viscous) fluid pharmaceutical formulation. The use of a viscous fluid can provide the small volume, high concentration, uniform drug dispersion, storage capacity, and handling stability required for the medicaments and methods of the present invention. Therefore, it is often desirable to employ micropumps that are tailored to provide the pressures required to pump viscous fluids. The pharmaceutical devices and formulations of the present invention address these unmet needs.
As a specific example, Parkinson's Disease (PD) is characterized by the inability of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra to produce the neurotransmitter dopamine. PD impairs motor skills, cognitive processes, autonomic nerve function, and sleep. Motor symptoms include tremor, stereotypy, slowness of movement (bradykinesia), and loss of the ability to initiate movement (akinesia) (collectively, "incapacitated" states). Non-motor symptoms of PD include dementia, dysphagia (dysphagia), slurred speech, orthostatic hypotension, seborrheic dermatitis, urinary incontinence, constipation, mood changes, sexual dysfunction, and sleep problems (e.g., daytime sleepiness, insomnia).
Levodopa (LD) therapy remains the most effective method for managing PD and providing the greatest improvement in motor function after over 40 years of clinical use. Therefore, LD administration is the primary therapy for PD. LD is typically administered orally. Intraorally administered LD enters the blood and part of the LD in the blood crosses the blood-brain barrier. It is partly metabolized in the brain to dopamine, which temporarily reduces the motor symptoms of PD. Since PD progression is potentially accompanied by neurodegeneration, patients need to increase the dose of LD and fluctuations in brain dopamine levels increase. When too many LDs are delivered to the brain, dyskinesias (uncontrolled movements such as writing, twitching and trembling) can occur; when too little delivery occurs, the patient may re-enter the disabled state. Furthermore, as PD progresses, the therapeutic window of oral formulations of LD shrinks and it becomes increasingly difficult to control PD motor symptoms without inducing motor complications. In addition, most PD patients experience fluctuations in response to intermittent intraoral LD treatment, such as the end of dose-pharmacodynamic decline, sudden remission/disability, delay in remission time, and response failure.
The devices, formulations, and methods of the invention provide improved therapy for patients with PD.

Detailed Description
The devices, compositions, and methods of the present invention can be used for continuous or semi-continuous intraoral drug delivery.
Although syringes, drug reservoirs, and pumps outside the oral cavity can be large because space is generally available, there is limited space in the oral cavity for the drug delivery device, and this space is particularly limited when the drug delivery device is small enough so that it does not interfere with speaking, swallowing, drinking, or eating. Therefore, the delivered drug, its reservoir and its delivery device must occupy a smaller volume. In an exemplary management of parkinson's disease, the concentration of LD and/or CD (including fluids of the invention) of intraoral infusion may typically be greater than 1M, such as greater than 1.5M, 2M, 2.5M, 3M, 3.5M, 4M, or 4.5M. These concentrations are concentrations substantially higher than the commercially available 0.1M LD concentrations of Duodopa (also called Duopa ™) for jejunal, gastric or nasal feeding. The concentrated pharmaceutical suspension may be viscous, for example, its dynamic viscosity may be much greater than 100 cP, such as greater than 10000 cP, 100000 cP, or 1000000 cP at 37 ℃. For example, the suspension may have a viscosity equal to or greater than toothpaste, the viscosity being greater than about 20000 cP, for example, greater than 50000 cP, such as greater than 500000 cP. Early practices of infusing viscous fluids through long tubes (typically longer than 50 cm, such as those used for nasogastric, gastric, or jejunal infusions) required larger internal diameters and/or higher pumping pressures. Furthermore, when the early suspension is infused through a long tube, the likelihood of flow blockage due to aggregation of suspended LD particles increases, and a translucent, very fine particle colloid is used to reduce the blockage. In contrast, the inventive intraoral infusion, more concentrated suspension disclosed herein is generally opaque because it may contain larger solid particles that scatter visible wavelength light. More concentrated and more viscous intraoral infusion suspensions can be enriched with particle sizes greater than 1 μm, 5 μm, 10 μm, or even 50 μm. For example, the suspension may be intraoral infused using an orifice in the reservoir (which is narrower than 2 mm or 1 mm) and/or optionally through a plastic tube or nozzle (which may be shorter than 5 cm, e.g. shorter than 4 cm, 3 cm, 2 cm or 1 cm).
The present invention addresses the problem of making a pharmaceutical suspension that is sufficiently concentrated to be useful for intraoral infusion as described above and sufficiently physically and chemically stable to be stored at room temperature for an extended period of time and infused over an extended period of time. The invention therefore features pharmaceutical compositions suitable for continuous or frequent intermittent intraoral delivery. The composition may be a suspension of solid drug particles in a carrier that is physically stable at about 25 ℃ and/or at physiological temperatures (such as 37 ℃). The suspension may contain from about 35% (w/w) to about 70% (w/w) of the drug, the weight percent including solid drug particles and drug dissolved in the carrier. The carrier may comprise a continuous hydrophilic phase, which may be, for example, an oil-in-water emulsion. Even when the continuous phase is hydrophilic or when it is an oil-in-water system, it may contain more oil by weight than water. Alternatively, it may comprise a continuous hydrophobic (i.e. immiscible with water) phase comprising an oil or water-in-oil emulsion.
The physical stability of solid drug particles comprising a suspension may be promoted by the presence of a combination of oil, water, and surfactant, in amounts sufficient to inhibit or prevent deposition and/or phase separation, respectively.
The invention also features chemically stable formulations of levodopa and carbidopa in which chemical degradation products (e.g., oxidation products and hydrolysis products) of levodopa and carbidopa are less than 5%, 2%, or 1% of the initial amount of drug. In particular, the invention features CD and LD/CD formulations that have low hydrazine concentrations even after extended periods of storage or exposure to elevated temperatures in air.
Oral administration
The drug may be administered intraorally (i.e., onto or near any internal surface of the mouth, such as the lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, palate, hard palate, soft palate, tonsils, uvula, and glands). Drugs administered intraorally are usually swallowed by the patient together with the patient's saliva. The medicament may be diluted by the patient's saliva and may optionally be partially or completely dissolved in the saliva. The drug may be absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract (e.g., in the small or large intestine) of the patient. In some cases, absorption of the drug delivered by the drug delivery device of the present invention may occur partially or even predominantly through the mucosa in the oral cavity, e.g., buccal or sublingual absorption.
Drugs and diseases

Exemplary diseases/medical conditions that may be treated using the devices and methods of the present invention, and corresponding drugs and exemplary daily dosage ranges and average dispensing rate ranges include those listed below in tables a-C:
abbreviations for tables A-C:
pH: pulmonary hypertension, including pulmonary arterial blood pressure
IBS: irritable bowel syndrome
COPD: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
The medicaments and methods of the invention may be used to treat dental and frontal-facial conditions such as xerostomia, dental caries, localized infections (e.g., fluconazole, albuginea, nystatin, or clotrimazole for thrush), and localized pain in the mouth or throat (e.g., lidocaine).
Xerostomia (xerostomia) and hyposalivation are more common in elderly patients and are common side effects of some drugs, including those used to treat PD. Patients with PD often also experience difficulty swallowing (dysphagia), which often leads to drooling (salivation). Drugs for treating xerostomia, hyposalivation, dysphagia and/or sialorrhea may be delivered by using the devices and methods of the present invention. Examples of drugs used for xerostomia and hyposalivation are salivary stimulants such as organic acids (e.g., citric acid, ascorbic acid, malic acid) or acid salts thereof and parasympathomimetic drugs (e.g., choline esters such as pilocarpine hydrochloride, and cholinesterase inhibitors). Examples of drugs used for dysphagia are scopolamine, tropicamide, sugar acid groups, and botulinum toxin. Examples of drugs for hypersalivation are anticholinergics, such as glycopyrrolate. In a preferred embodiment, drugs for treating xerostomia, hyposalivation, and/or dysphagia are administered with LD or CD using the drug delivery device and method of the present invention. In another preferred embodiment, the intraoral administration of the anti-parkinson's disease drug itself stimulates increased salivary secretion and/or more frequent or increased swallowing.
Gastroparesis or delayed gastric emptying is common in people with PD, especially patients who score 4 and 5 on the Hoehn and Yahr scale. Drugs for treating gastroparesis may be delivered by using the devices and methods of the present invention. In one embodiment, a drug for treating gastroparesis is administered with the LD or CD using the drug delivery device and method of the present invention. In another embodiment, the drug for treating gastroparesis is administered using other drug delivery methods known in the art (i.e., it is not administered via continuous or frequent intraoral delivery), while LD or CD is infused intraorally. Examples of drugs for the treatment of gastroparesis are: metoclopramide, cisapride, erythromycin, domperidone, sildenafil citrate, mirtazapine, nizatidine, acotiamide, ghrelin, levosulpiride, tegaserod, buspirone, clonidine, remorelin, 5-hydroxytryptamine 5-HT4 agonists, and dopamine D2 or D3 antagonists.
Methylation of LD, by which 3-methoxy-levodopa (3-OMD) is produced, is one of the major metabolic pathways of LD. It will increase the amount of LD required in parkinson's disease patients and, since this conversion shortens the half-life of plasma LD, it will also increase the frequency of dispensing LD or LD/CD or CD that needs to be dispensed in order to manage the symptoms of parkinson's disease. The enzyme catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) catalyzes the conversion of LD to 3-OMD. Administration of COMT inhibitors may reduce the dose of LD or LD/CD required, or may even provide management of the disease in the early stages of PD without LD or LD/CD. However, the two most commonly used COMT inhibitors (entacapone and tolcapone) have a short lifetime.
Entacapone does not cross the blood brain barrier and may be less toxic than tolcapone crossing this barrier. However, the plasma half-life of entacapone is only 0.4-0.7 hours, which makes it difficult to maintain adequate plasma levels of the drug without administering large and frequent doses of the drug. In clinical practice, one 200 mg tablet is usually dosed per LD/CD or LD/benserazide dose. The maximum recommended dose is 200 mg, i.e., 2000 mg, ten times per day. Continuous oral administration of entacapone may reduce the dose and/or frequency of drug administration as well as its side effects. Reduced doses may reduce side effects such as movement disorders and/or gastrointestinal problems, nausea, abdominal pain or diarrhea.
Entacapone may be administered intraorally continuously while the patient is awake at a daily dose of less than 1000 mg every 16 hours, for example, as an aqueous suspension comprising small particles (e.g., entacapone particles having an average diameter of less than 100 μm, such as less than 30 μm, 10 μm, 3 μm, or 1 μm). Alternatively, it may be dispensed as a suspension in a non-aqueous solution, such as edible oil, cocoa butter, propylene glycol, or glycerol.
Tolcapone is a reversible COMT inhibitor with a half-life of 2-3 hours. It exerts its COMT inhibitory effect in the central nervous system and in the region of its nerve endings. Its use is limited by its hepatotoxicity. A typical tolcapone dose in PD management is 100-200 mg three times per day. Tolcapone is also effective in treating persistent sensory disturbances caused by hallucinogens, reducing visible symptoms. Continuous oral administration of tolcapone can reduce its dose and/or frequency of administration as well as its hepatotoxicity. Reduced doses may reduce hepatotoxicity. The daily dose may be less than 500 mg every 16 waking hours, such as less than 300 mg every 16 waking hours. For example, it may be dispensed intraorally continuously as a suspension of the invention comprising small particles (e.g., drug particles having an average diameter of less than 100 μm, such as less than 30 μm, 10 μm, 3 μm, or 1 μm).
Since the dispensing according to the invention is usually into the mouth, it is preferred that the drugs selected for dispensing are those that most patients feel neutral or comfortable to taste. Taste masking or modifying excipients can be added to formulations of drugs that most patients perceive as unpleasant.
Other drugs that can be effectively delivered according to the present invention include methylphenidate, prostaglandins, prostacyclins, treprostinil, beraprost, nimodipine, and testosterone.

The compounds set out above are mainly set out by their international non-proprietary name (INN) and are known to the person skilled in the art. For example, additional details can be found by reference to the pharmaceutical substance of the World Health Organization (WHO) international non-proprietary drug name (INN).
Gastroparesis, delayed or unstable gastric emptying, and other abnormalities or diseases of the abdomen, intestines, pylorus, jejunum, duodenum affect the transport of food and drugs from the stomach to the duodenum and through the small and large intestines. These disorders of the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) are typically caused by or associated with a variety of diseases and disorders, including parkinson's disease, diabetes, autonomic neuropathy, and cancer treatment. Slowing, delaying, or destabilizing the transport of drugs from the stomach to the duodenum and through the small and large intestines can reduce the benefit or efficacy of many drugs, including levodopa. To this end, the Duopa ™ (also called Duodopa ™) LD/CD delivery system will infuse LD/CD suspensions into the jejunum or duodenum even though the jejunal delivery requires surgical implantation of PEG tubing and is subject to the high complication rates associated with PEG tubing. The inventors have found that intraoral inhalation of an aqueous solution of levodopa and carbidopa at a frequency of about 6-12 times per hour also stabilizes the plasma concentration of levodopa and reduces the disability time of PD patients by about 43%. Without limiting the scope of the invention to theory or model, we have observed that the reported gastric delay of a drug does not necessarily apply when the drug is continuously infused and dissolved intraorally. Thus, it may be advantageous to infuse a suspension or paste comprising solid drug particles into the oral cavity of a patient at a rate equal to or lower than the dissolution rate of the solid drug particles in body fluids secreted in the oral cavity, so that the drug passing through the esophagus to the stomach has been substantially dissolved, so that the remaining solid drug particles are substantially dissolved in fluids secreted in the stomach, and/or so that the still remaining drug particles are substantially dissolved in fluids secreted in the duodenum, then if still remaining solid drug particles are substantially dissolved in fluids secreted in the jejunum, then if still present they are substantially dissolved in fluids secreted in the ileum, and finally if still present they are substantially dissolved in fluids secreted in the colon. The body fluid secreted (in which the solid drug can be dissolved) may be, for example, saliva secreted in the oral cavity (for example, through submandibular glands and parotid gland) mainly at the waking moment. The secretion rate of a healthy person may be between about 50 mL/hour and about 100 mL/hour. It is contemplated that the solubility of LD may be about 50 mg/mL and that less than about 4 mL/hour of saliva may be capable of dissolving solid LD delivered intraorally even though the patient may require as much as 200 mg LD per hour. Even in patients who secrete less saliva than healthy people (e.g., patients with PD or xerostomia), the drug may not be merely dissolved and its solution may be diluted before reaching the stomach. For rapid dissolution in saliva, it may be advantageous to disperse drug particles (e.g., by administering a suspension thereof comprising a surfactant) where the size of the drug particles may be small (e.g., typically less than about 100 μm in average diameter, such as less than 50 μm in average diameter, such as less than 20 μm in average diameter, such as less than 10 μm in average diameter).
Other drugs (such as baclofen or pirstine) that are administered in less daily amounts than LD may be absorbed on small particles of a solid excipient (such as amino acids, e.g., tyrosine). For continuous intraoral delivery, a paste of excipients containing the drug may be extruded into the oral cavity where the saliva secreted may dissolve the absorbed drug as well as any solid drug particles, if present.
Drug delivery device
The drug delivery device of the present invention is designed to address the need for: the device is inserted into the oral cavity by a patient or caregiver and is located in the oral cavity while it dispenses the drug and can be removed from the oral cavity by the patient or caregiver. A preferred drug delivery device comprises an oral fluid impermeable reservoir.
The drug delivery device typically has a total volume of less than about 10 mL (and preferably less than 7.5, 5.0, or 3.0 mL). To minimize interference with the patient's chewing, swallowing, and speaking, the preferred volume of the drug delivery device is 0.5-3.0 mL.
The drug delivery device of the present invention preferably comprises an anti-bite structure support that enables it to withstand the bite of a patient with a force of at least 200 newtons without rupturing and without infusing a bolus of greater than 5% drug content when the unused reservoir is reinserted into the oral cavity. For example, an anti-bite structural brace may include a structural housing that encloses the entire drug reservoir, propellant reservoir, and pump components, thereby protecting individual components, the entire device, or both. The structural shell may be constructed of any tough, impact-resistant material that is compatible with the intraoral anatomy. Metals such as stainless steel or titanium, composite materials (optionally fiber reinforced polymers such as polymethylmethacrylate, and strong polymers such as kevlar) are examples of tough materials that are compatible with the intraoral anatomy. Other structural elements may include studs or ribs in the shell that are placed in position so as to be unable to compress, due to the increased stiffness of the shell components. In another example, the structural elements (such as ribs and posts) allow some flexing of the housing, but do not allow sufficient flexing to deform the components of the pump. In another example, the pump housing may be made of: the material allows some flexing and sufficient volume in the housing so that the drug reservoir and/or propellant reservoir may deform or become displaced upon application of pressure but still maintain its structural integrity. In another example, some of the previously described elements may be incorporated into one design, and the entire interior volume of the device may contain a tough, biocompatible material, such as an epoxy or thermoplastic.
To prevent it from being accidentally swallowed or inhaled into the trachea, the drug delivery device of the present invention is either fixed in the mouth or is not in shape and size to be swallowed or inhaled into the trachea. It may be secured to any internal surface of the oral cavity, such as one or more teeth, the palate, the gums, the lips, or the cheeks within the patient's oral cavity. To achieve a secure and comfortable fit, the device may be molded to fit or attach to a surface within the patient's mouth, such as the teeth or palate, or it may conform to at least one cheek. In some embodiments, the drug delivery device is secured such that it is positioned on the teeth, on the cheek, between the gums and lips, or at the palate. Alternatively, the drug delivery device comprises a shape and size that cannot be swallowed. Examples are curved elongated shapes, in their curved form having a length of more than 4 cm (e.g. more than 5, 6, or 7 cm), which can be placed between the gums and the cheeks and lips; or the drug delivery device is positioned adjacent to both cheeks and connected with a bridge, optionally in fluid contact with both left and right portions.
Although the housing of a typical drug delivery device of the present invention may be a solid material such as metal or ceramic, in some embodiments, the device may comprise a rigid plastic, a strong elastomer, a deformable plastic, or a plastic that is optionally deformed so that it may conform to the contours of the patient's mouth (e.g., the contours of the cheek, or the palate, or the floor of the mouth, or the anterior gingiva adjacent the lips, or the contours of the teeth). The plastic is optionally fiber reinforced, i.e. it may be reinforced by fibers of, for example, carbon, metal, glass fibers, or by strong polymers such as polyimide. The plastic may include: for example elastomeric butyl rubber, elastomeric silicone or polyurethane. It may be a more non-deformable (e.g., substantially impermeable to oxygen or water) plastic such as polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinyl chloride, polychlorotrifluoroethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyether polycarbonate, or high density high crystallinity polyethylene. Alternatively, the drug delivery device may comprise a metal, such as titanium, aluminium or magnesium of stainless steel or alloy. In an alternative embodiment, the drug delivery device comprises a plurality of sections connected by flexible connectors to enable the drug delivery device to conform to the shape of the surface on which it is mounted.
The drug delivery device of the present invention may be attached to the teeth or other internal surfaces of the oral cavity by fasteners, as shown in fig. 1A and 1B. The fastener 1, the one or more pumps 2, and the one or more drug reservoirs 3 may comprise a single unit or it may comprise separate components, wherein the fastener remains in the oral cavity when the one or more pumps or the one or more reservoirs are removed. Fig. 1A shows an embodiment in which the pump 2, and the drug reservoir 3, comprise a single removable component that is attachable to the fastener 1. The medicament is delivered into the oral cavity via a conduit 5, which conduit 5 may optionally comprise a flow restrictor. Fig. 1B shows an embodiment comprising a reusable housing 4, and a disposable pump 2 and drug reservoir 3. The fastener 1, the one or more drug pumps, and the one or more drug reservoirs may be removably attached to each other by using magnets, clips, clasps, clamps, flanges, latches, clasps, snap fasteners, screw-type collars, or other attachment mechanisms known in the art. In a preferred embodiment, the fastener comprises a transparent retainer or a partial retainer on one side of the oral cavity (e.g., attached to 3, 4, or 5 teeth). Fig. 1C depicts an embodiment in which the pump 2 and the drug reservoir 3 form a single component.
In fig. 2A and 2B an embodiment of the device is shown, wherein the pump and/or the oral fluid impermeable reservoir is fixed to the upper or lower teeth by using a transparent holder 6. One, two or more pumps and/or one or more drug reservoirs are fixed on the buccal side of the transparent holder. One, two, or more drug pumps 2 and/or drug reservoirs 3 may be affixed on a single side, either on the right or left side, positioned in the buccal vestibule, or alternatively on the lingual side of the teeth. The drug pump and reservoir are attached to a transparent holder via a housing 4. The medicament is delivered into the oral cavity via a conduit 5, which conduit 5 may optionally comprise a flow restrictor. The conduit 5 is used to carry the medicament from the buccal side of the teeth to the lingual side where it may be more easily swallowed. The tube may be molded into the holder.
In a related embodiment illustrated in fig. 3, the pump 2 and reservoir 3 may be configured to be both positioned on the lingual side of the teeth and in the buccal vestibulum. In this embodiment, the pump 2 is used to fill an expandable polymer (e.g., elastomeric or non-elastomeric) compartment 7, the expandable polymer compartment 7 being described in more detail in fig. 11A, 11B, and 11C, which drives the drug out of the drug reservoir 3. In another related embodiment illustrated in fig. 4A and 4B, one, two, or more pumps and/or oral fluid impermeable reservoirs may be secured on both sides, on both the right and left sides, positioned in the buccal vestibule or on the lingual side of the teeth, or at both the buccal and lingual sides. Fig. 4A depicts a fastener in the form of an invisible retainer 6 comprising two double-sided housings 4 (shown empty) on buccal sides of teeth, into which two double-sided housings 4A drug pump and/or a drug reservoir may be inserted. Fig. 4B depicts a fastener in the form of an invisible retainer 6 comprising two double-sided housings 4 (shown filled) on the lingual sides of the teeth, into which two double-sided housings 4a drug pump and/or a drug reservoir has been inserted.
Alternatively, two or more oral fluid impermeable drug reservoirs can be in fluid communication with each other. Optionally, the transparent holder 6 may comprise 2, 3, 4 or more layers of different hardness in order to make it easy to insert and remove the transparent holder from the tooth. For example, the transparent retainer 6 may include a bi-laminate layer, a softer inner layer that contacts the teeth, and a harder outer layer that contacts the cheeks and tongue.
One or more pumps and/or oral fluid impermeable reservoirs may be removably attached to the transparent holder by using magnets, clips, clasps, clamps, flanges, latches, clasps, snap fasteners, screw-type collars, or other attachment mechanisms known in the art. In one embodiment, the transparent holder comprises one, two, or more housings into which one, two, or more pumps and/or oral fluid impermeable reservoirs are inserted. One, two, or more housings may be molded or formed in the shape of one, two, or more pumps and/or oral fluid impermeable reservoirs.
To deliver some drugs (such as LD or CD), it may be desirable to administer a solid or fluid comprising the drug on the lingual side of the teeth rather than on the buccal side of the teeth in order to minimize the residence time of the drug in the oral cavity, thus avoiding potential accumulation of the drug in the buccal vestibule and minimizing potential irritating exposure of buccal tissues to the drug. In a preferred embodiment, the fastener (e.g., a transparent or partial retainer) includes one, two, or more fluid channels to carry a fluid including a drug from one, two, or more pumps and/or oral fluid impermeable reservoirs into the oral cavity. The fluid channel can carry a fluid including a drug from one, two, or more oral fluid impermeable reservoirs located on a buccal side of the tooth to a lingual side of the tooth. For example, the fluid channel may include one, two, or more conduits molded into the fastener. For example, the fluid passage may pass behind the posterior molars, above the mandibular arch, so that it does not pass through the occlusal surfaces of the teeth. The fluid channel may comprise an inner diameter of less than 0.25 mm, 0.25-1 mm, 1-2 mm, 2-3 mm, or greater than 3 mm. The fluid channel may comprise a fluid channel length in the fastener that is less than 1 mm, 1-3 mm, 3-5 mm, 5-10 mm, or greater than 10 mm, such as 1-2 cm, 2-3 cm, or 3-4 cm.
The one, two, or more pumps and/or the one, two, or more oral fluid impermeable drug reservoirs may be in fluid communication with the one, two, or more fluid channels in the fastener (e.g., a transparent retainer or partial retainer) via any type of fluid-tight connector known in the art, such as a fluid-tight snap-fit fastener or screw-type collar. The fluid-tight connector preferably comprises metal in order to improve durability. Optionally, one, two, or more pumps and/or one, two, or more oral fluid impermeable reservoirs do not deliver fluid when they are not mounted on the fastener, and mounting them on the fastener initiates delivery of the drug. Similarly, drug delivery may be temporarily suspended when the pump and/or oral fluid impermeable reservoir are detached from the fastener.
In one embodiment, one, two, or more fluid channels may include one, two, or more flow restrictors. The one, two, or more restrictors may include metal tubing molded into the fastener (e.g., a transparent retainer or partial retainer). By incorporating a flow restrictor into the reusable fastener, the disposable drug delivery device and/or oral fluid impermeable reservoir need not include a flow restrictor for accurately controlling the infusion rate.
In another embodiment, the reusable fastener (e.g., a transparent holder or partial holder) may include a pump and/or a power source. Where a reusable pump and/or power source is incorporated into the fastener, the disposable portion of the drug delivery device and/or oral fluid impermeable reservoir need not include a pump and/or power source, thus reducing overall cost. For example, the fastener may include a piezoelectric pump, or a battery-driven electroosmotic pump, and/or a battery. The battery may optionally be rechargeable.
The fastener or a component thereof (such as a housing) may be manufactured using methods known in the art, such as thermoforming, injection molding, compression molding, and lamination.
The drug delivery device may be a single unit, or it may have two, three, four, five, or more components. The drug delivery device may have one, two, three, four, five, or more oral fluid impermeable reservoirs containing solid or fluid drug formulations therein. These one or more reservoirs may form a single component, or it may form multiple components.
The drug delivery device may be reusable, disposable, or it may have one or more reusable components and one or more disposable components. In a preferred embodiment, the fasteners are reusable, and may be reusable over a period equal to or greater than 7, 30, 60, or 180 days, or one or two years. In another preferred embodiment, the one or more oral fluid impermeable reservoirs are single use disposable components. The pump may be reusable or disposable. The occluder, if present, may be single use disposable or may be reusable.
The oral fluid impermeable reservoir may be refillable with a solid or fluid drug formulation. In a preferred embodiment, the oral fluid impermeable reservoir is single use disposable. The oral fluid impermeable reservoir may be filled by a user. In a preferred embodiment, the oral fluid impermeable reservoir is prefilled.
The drug delivery device further comprises one, two, three, four, or more orifices for releasing the drug from the device into the oral cavity.
The duration of the dispensing of a single drug delivery device or oral fluid impermeable reservoir typically exceeds 4, 8, 12, or 16 hours per day, up to and including 24 hours per day. Dosing may also occur from a single device or oral fluid impermeable reservoir over a multi-day period, for example, dosing of a drug for up to 2 or more days, 4 or more days, or 7 or more days. The device may be designed to be worn while the patient is awake or asleep.
It is desirable that the patient be able to temporarily remove the drug delivery device from the oral cavity, for example, to eat, brush their teeth, or occasionally when the patient does not want or need the drug (e.g., at night). Thus, the drug delivery device and/or some components thereof (such as the pump and/or the oral fluid impermeable reservoir) may be temporarily removable. However, it is acceptable to have some components (such as fasteners) remain in the mouth without it interfering with the patient's activities. For example, a fastener, retainer, or mucoadhesive patch adhered to the oral mucosa, that is taped or glued to one or more teeth, and an element that holds the pump and/or oral fluid impermeable reservoir in place may remain in the oral cavity when the pump and/or oral fluid impermeable reservoir is removed.
The drug delivery device may preferably have a shape that is comfortable in the oral cavity. Typically, the shape has rounded edges. Shapes such as a beveled circular shape are generally more comfortable than a cylindrical shape.
Preferably, the drug delivery device comprises an indicator of the following parameters: the amount of one or more drugs remaining; the infusion time remaining before purging; and/or one or more oral fluid impermeable reservoirs are empty and should be replaced.
The drug delivery device of the present invention is configured and arranged to dispense one or more solid or fluid drug formulations from one or more oral fluid impermeable reservoirs comprising a total volume of 0.1-10 mL of drug, e.g., 0.1-1.0, 1.0-2.0, 2.0-3.0, 3.0-4.0, 4.0-5.0, 5.0-6.0, 6.0-7.0, 7.0-8.0, 8.0-9.0, or 9.0-10 mL. Configured and arranged to dispense one or more solid or fluid pharmaceutical agents at a rate in the range of 0.03-1.25 mL/hr (e.g., 0.03-0.10, 0.10-0.20, 0.20-0.30, 0.30-0.40, 0.40-0.50, 0.50-0.60, 0.60-0.70, 0.70-0.80, 0.80-0.90, 0.90-1.0, 1.0-1.1, or 1.1-1.25 mL/hr). In some embodiments, it is configured and arranged to administer the drug (i.e., active pharmaceutical ingredient) at an average rate of 0.01-1 mg per hour, 1-10 mg per hour, 10-100 mg per hour, or greater than 100 mg per hour. In other embodiments, the pharmaceutical product (i.e., active pharmaceutical ingredient plus excipient) is administered at an average rate of 0.01-1 mg per hour, 1-10 mg per hour, 10-100 mg per hour, or greater than 100 mg per hour.
The one or more drugs may be dispensed at a constant rate or at a non-constant rate during the course of a dispense period. For example, the drug delivery device may be programmed to dispense the drug according to a drug delivery profile during the course of a dispense session. The drug delivery device may also have on-demand dosing capability, so that the patient or caregiver can initiate delivery of the pill.
In a preferred embodiment, the drug delivery device dispenses the one or more solid or fluid drug agents via continuous and/or frequent dispensing (e.g., infusion). In preferred embodiments, the solid or fluid drug dispense rate remains constant or nearly constant over the course of a day for periods of up to 4, 8, 12, 16, or 24 hours. For example, the dosing amount may vary by less than 10% or 20% per hour, or 10% or 20% per 15 minute periods during the 4, 8, 12, 16, or 24 hour periods. In another embodiment, the solid or fluid drug dispensing rate remains approximately constant during the waking hours of the day. In another embodiment, the rate of dosing of the solid or fluid drug formulation remains approximately constant during the sleep hour. In another embodiment, the solid or fluid drug formulation dosing rate remains approximately constant during the waking hours of the day (except for the delivery of the pill at approximately wake time). In one embodiment, the dispensing rate may be set prior to insertion in the mouth by the patient or caregiver. In another embodiment, administration is semi-continuous and the period between infusions is less than the physiological half-life t of the drug 1/2(ii) a For example, it may be less than t1/2Is less than t 1/21/3 or less than t 1/21/4 or less than t 1/21/10 of (1).
For fluid drug formulations, it is desirable to deliver the solutions or suspensions of the present invention by using a small, effective, inexpensive and reliable drug delivery device. This can be particularly challenging when these fluids are viscous. It is also desirable to minimize the pressure required to pump the fluid. In preferred drug delivery devices for fluids greater than 100 cP (e.g., 100-1000 cP, 1000-10000 cP, 10000-100000 cP, 100000-500000 cP, 500000-2500000 cP, or greater than 2500000 cP), the drug may exit the device through a conduit, nozzle, channel, or orifice having a length of less than 4 cm, 3 cm, 2 cm, 1 cm, 0.5 cm, or 0.2 cm. For example, the fluid may be delivered through an optionally flexible cannula, or it may be delivered through an orifice without the use of any type of tube or cannula. To further minimize the pressure required to pump the fluid, the conduit, channel, or orifice through which the drug exits the device may have an inner diameter greater than 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 mm (e.g., 1 mm-5 mm, 1 mm-3 mm, 2 mm-4 mm, or 3 mm-5 mm). The preferred minimum inner diameter is 01-2 mm (0.1-0.7 mm, 0.2-0.5 mm, 0.5-0.75 mm, 0.75-1.0 mm, 1.0-1.5 mm, or 1.5-2.0 mm), and the preferred length is 0.25-5 cm (such as 1-2.5 cm, 1-5 cm, 0.25-0.5 cm, 0.5-0.75 cm, 0.75-1 cm, 1-2 cm, 2-3 cm, 3-4 cm, or 4-5 cm).
Pump and method of operating the same
Pumps for drug delivery devices must be suitable for miniature devices that are safely and comfortably carried in the oral cavity. Any suitable pump may be used. The pump and the oral fluid impermeable reservoir may be distinct.
The micro-pump is advantageously placed in the mouth. For example, the extruded fluid comprising the drug may occupy more than 33%, 50%, 66%, or 75% of the total volume of the drug delivery device.
Non-electric pump
Pumps that do not require a battery may be smaller and have fewer moving parts than electric pumps that do require a battery. The group of non-electric disposable pumps of the invention is based on the following physical principles: mechanical constraints within the flow path may determine the flow rate of the pressurized fluid. The pressure on the fluid may be generated by a number of mechanisms, including stretching elastomers, compressing springs, chemical reactions, propellants, and pressurized gas cartridges, using non-electromotive forces. The restriction of flow may be provided by an orifice (e.g., in a drug reservoir), by a narrow bore tube (such as a metal, glass or plastic tube), by a channel, or by a capillary tube, or by a flow control nozzle. Alternatively, the flow control nozzle, channel, or conduit may be made of plastic (such as engineering plastic), or made of metal or ceramic (such as glass). The nozzle, channel, or conduit may have an inner diameter that is less than 1 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.3 mm, or 0.1 mm, and it may be shorter than 10 cm, 5 cm, 2 cm, or 1 cm, such as 0.5 cm. The preferred minimum inner diameter is 0.1-2 mm (0.1-0.7 mm, 0.2-0.5 mm, 0.5-0.75 mm, 0.75-1.0 mm, 1.0-1.5 mm, or 1.5-2.0 mm), and the preferred length is 0.25-5 cm (such as 1-2.5 cm, 1-5 cm, 0.25-0.5 cm, 0.5-0.75 cm, 0.75-1 cm, 1-2 cm, 2-3 cm, 3-4 cm, or 4-5 cm).
Since different patients may require different doses of a drug, it is desirable that the drug delivery device of the present invention be available from a production line of multiple products, each product having a different drug dosing rate. The desired flow rate can be achieved by selecting a flow restrictor of the appropriate inner diameter and length. In one embodiment, a plastic restrictor nozzle or tube may be cut to a length to provide a desired flow rate. The use of narrow bore tubes as flow restrictors simplifies the manufacturing process of the production line. During the manufacturing process, a narrow bore tube with a constant inner diameter may be cut into segments of fixed length a to provide a reproducible flow restrictor for a product with one flow rate. Different portions of a narrow bore tube with a constant inner diameter may be cut into segments of fixed length B to provide a reproducible flow restrictor for a product with a second flow rate.
In another embodiment, when the reservoir is metallic, one or more pinholes in the reservoir wall may comprise a flow restrictor, i.e. the desired flow rate may be achieved by the number of pinholes and the diameter of the one or more pinholes.
In yet another embodiment, the flow restrictor may comprise an aperture having an adjustable diameter, similar to a user adjustable aperture of a camera. Rather than each device being able to only infuse at a single infusion rate, the user adjustable orifice may allow a physician or patient to set the infusion rate, thus providing greater flexibility and convenience.
Preferred nozzles, channels, or conduits may be supported by engineering plastic and may have an inner diameter of less than 1 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.3 mm, or 0.1 mm, and which may be shorter than 10 cm, 5 cm, 2 cm, or 1 cm, such as 0.5 cm. The preferred minimum inner diameter is 0.1-2 mm (0.1-0.7 mm, 0.2-0.5 mm, 0.5-0.75 mm, 0.75-1.0 mm, 1.0-1.5 mm, or 1.5-2.0 mm), and the preferred length is 0.25-5 cm (such as 1-2.5 cm, 1-5 cm, 0.25-0.5 cm, 0.5-0.75 cm, 0.75-1 cm, 1-2 cm, 2-3 cm, 3-4 cm, or 4-5 cm).
The flow rate may be affected by the pressure gradient across the flow restrictor as well as by the viscosity of the fluid. A major source of inaccuracy in existing pump products may be that viscosity is strongly affected by temperature. An important benefit of carrying the drug delivery device of the present invention within the oral cavity is that the temperature is kept almost constant at about 37 ℃, thus minimizing changes in rheological properties (such as viscosity) and thus minimizing changes in infusion rate. The nearly constant about 37 ℃ is also beneficial for maintaining a stable pumping pressure when a gas (such as from a liquid propellant) is used to drive the pump.
The formulations of the present invention are typically viscous suspensions. The use of viscous suspensions is generally desirable for achieving the small volumes, high concentrations, uniform drug dispensing, storage capacity, and handling stability desired for the medicaments and methods of the present invention. Accordingly, it is often desirable to employ a pump mechanism that is capable of providing the pressure required to pump a viscous fluid.
The pressures generated on the fluid by elastomeric pumps, spring driven pumps, and gas driven pumps are typically in the range of 250 mm Hg to 5000 mm Hg (depending on the flow rate and cannula size), but may be higher. For example, the pressure may be 250-500 mm Hg, 500-750 mm Hg, 750-1000 mm Hg, 1000-1250 mm Hg, 1250-2500 mm Hg, 2500-5000 mm Hg, or greater than 5000 mm Hg. The pressurized gas may be a propellant concentrated to a liquid at a pressure of greater than 1 bar (such as 1 to 2, 2 to 3, 3 to 4, or 4 to 5 bar at about 37 ℃), or the pressurized gas may be generated chemically, e.g., electrolytically (e.g., by electrolysis of water).
The drug delivery device may remain in the mouth while the patient eats and drinks water, or may be removed for eating or drinking. Preferably, the introduction of food or liquid (including hot, cold, acidic, basic, oily, or alcoholic) into the oral cavity has no clinically significant effect on drug delivery. For example, these conditions may affect the solubility of the drug; a volume of fluid comprising a drug in a reservoir; viscosity of a fluid comprising a drug in an oral fluid impermeable reservoir; the volume of gas in the reservoir (if present); bulk transport limits the diffusivity of the film (if present); and/or the force exerted by the elastomer or spring, if present. Some drug delivery technologies, such as controlled release mucoadhesive drug delivery patches, may deliver relatively drug pills when in contact with hot, cold, acidic, basic, oily, or alcoholic liquids in the oral cavity. Such pills may cause undesirable clinical effects and should be minimized. In one embodiment, the solid or liquid drug delivery device of the present invention delivers pills that are less than 5%, 4%, 3%, or 2% of the content of a fresh oral fluid impermeable reservoir when submerged in a beaker containing a stirred 0.14M aqueous salt solution that is hot (e.g., at about 55 ℃), cold (e.g., at about 1 ℃), acidic (e.g., at about pH 2.5), basic (e.g., at about pH 9), or alcoholic (e.g., 0.14M salt solution contains 5% alcohol by weight) for 5 minutes or 1 minute. For example, an LD delivery device may deliver less than 0.5, 0.25, 0.12, or 0.06 millimoles of LD for pills under these conditions.
Battery-powered pump
In addition to powering the pump, the battery may also power optional electronic control means and communication capability (e.g., a radio frequency receiver) for programmed drug delivery and remote control of drug delivery by the transmission means. Micro batteries may be used to drive pumps or dispensing mechanisms for the delivery of solid or fluid drugs. Any low power pump drive mechanism known in the art may be used, such as a syringe pump, hydraulic pump, gear pump, rotary vane pump, screw pump, bent axis pump, axial piston pump, radial piston pump, peristaltic pump, magnetic pump, piezoelectric pump, electro-osmotic pump, diaphragm pump, and memory alloy pump (such as a nitinol-based pump).
The advantages of a battery-powered pump for use in the oral cavity are: drug delivery from the device can be temporarily stopped if the patient wishes to temporarily remove the drug delivery device from the oral cavity. This may be achieved, for example, by turning off the electrical power to the pump.
One embodiment of a battery-powered pump is a miniature diaphragm pump that uses the motion of a piezoelectric crystal to fill a chamber with drug from a reservoir in one motion and to expel drug from the chamber in the opposite motion. Typically, the oscillation frequency of the piezoelectric crystal is less than about 20000 Hz, 5000 Hz, or 1000 Hz in order to avoid higher frequencies at which the biofilm can be disrupted by ultrasound or more likely to generate free radicals by biochemical processes. A significant advantage of a diaphragm pump is that it can be used to deliver highly viscous and low-viscosity fluids, as well as solids such as granules or powders, very accurately.
Another embodiment of a battery-powered pump is a micro electro-osmotic pump as disclosed in the following documents: for example, U.S. patent publication nos. 2013/0041353, 2013/0156615, 2013/0153797, and 2013/0153425, PCT publication No. WO2011/112723, and korean patent publication No. KR101305149, which are respectively incorporated herein by reference. Typically, the volume of the micro-electroosmotic pump (including its battery or batteries) is less than the volume of fluid in the unused oral fluid impermeable reservoir. For example, the pump may have a volume that is less than half of the volume of the unused oral fluid impermeable reservoir, less than 1/3, less than 1/4, or less than 1/5. When an electroosmotic pump is used with a refillable reservoir, the batteries used to power the pump may be replaced at the time of refilling. To provide different dosage rates to different patients, the oral fluid impermeable reservoir may be filled with a drug at different concentrations. Alternatively, the flow rate of the electroosmotic pump may be adjusted by: the applied voltage or current is controlled, or the cross-sectional fluid contact area of the thin film sandwiched between the electrodes is changed. Alternatively, the applied voltage or current may be adjusted remotely by incorporating a short-range Radio Frequency (RF) receiver in the insert.
Another type of battery-powered pump is a positive displacement pump. Two examples of battery-powered positive displacement pumps that may be used to deliver drugs are gear pumps and peristaltic pumps. One of the main advantages of using a positive displacement pump is that the delivery rate is not affected by changes in ambient pressure. In one embodiment, the gear pump uses two rotors that are eccentrically mounted and intermesh with their cycloid gears. Therefore, there have been systems of multiple sealed chambers and which are moved one at a time towards the outlet of the pump. An example of a gear pump is the micro-ring gear pump mzr-2521 from HNP Mikrosysteme GmbH. A second type of battery-powered positive displacement pump is the peristaltic pump. Peristaltic pumps use a series of rollers to squeeze a tube to create a vacuum to draw material from a reservoir, thus creating a volume of drug within a subsequent roller volume and moving it to deliver the drug toward the outlet of the pump. An example of a battery powered peristaltic pump is the RP-TX series micro peristaltic pump from Takasago Electric, inc.
Elastomer infusion pump
In elastomeric infusion pumps, the pressure of the fluid is generated by the force of stretching or compressing the elastomer. An example of an elastomeric part disposable constant rate drug infusion pump with a flow restrictor is the CeQur PaQ insulin patch pump described in the following document: U.S. n. 12/374,054 and U.S. patent No. 8,547,239, which are each incorporated herein by reference.
Fig. 5A and 5B show an embodiment of an elastomeric drug reservoir that can be filled with a drug to pressurize the drug and pump the fluid at a controlled rate by using a narrow bore tube 8 as a flow restrictor. Fig. 5A shows the elastomer reservoir 9 when empty of drug and fig. 5B shows the elastomer balloon 9 when pressurized due to the elastomer expanding by filling with drug.
Preferably, the elastomeric membrane is protected by an outer protective shell. The outer protective shell may be a compliant elastomer or a more rigid plastic that may be molded to the surface of the oral cavity. The membrane of the elastomeric pump may include natural and synthetic (e.g., thermoplastic) elastomers (e.g., isoprene rubber, neoprene rubber, latex, silicone, and polyurethane), and may be made of a single layer or multiple layers. The type of elastomer and the geometry of the elastomeric balloon 9 determine the pressure generated on the fluid when the balloon is stretched. Multilayer elastomeric films can generate higher pressures than single layer films. Higher driving pressures are beneficial for achieving faster flow rates and pumping viscous fluids.
To minimize variations in flow rate when delivering fluid, it is preferred to use a sufficiently high tension in the elastomeric film so that the difference between the starting pressure and the ending pressure on the fluid is less than 30%, 20%, or 10% of the starting pressure.
Another embodiment of an elastomer driven pump is to use an elastomer band 10 (e.g., a rubber band, see fig. 5C and 5D) to apply a constant force to the drug reservoir 3 to drive the drug through the narrow bore tube 8, the narrow bore tube 8 having a check valve 16 (or one-way valve) at the downstream end. Elastomers are known to have the following material properties: where relatively small changes in stress can be utilized to give it a large strain value, and only very small changes in stress in some regions of the stress-strain curve. In one embodiment of the elastomeric tape pump, a stretched polyisoprene tape is used. Polyisoprene has desirable material properties because significant changes in strain in a particular region of the stress-strain curve result in little change in stress. In this embodiment, the elastomeric rubber strip 10 is used in the following range of stress-strain curves: in this range, the stress remains in the elastomer region from the beginning to the end of the stroke of movement of the piston. In this embodiment, one end of the elastomeric band 10 is placed onto a post 12 attached to a piston 13, while the other end is placed onto a stationary post 14. Tension on the elastomeric band 10 applies a force to the drug reservoir and, to eliminate the effect of the ambient pressure differential, the vent 15 allows the drug reservoir 3 to be exposed to ambient pressure on all sides. The check valve 16 also serves to prevent saliva from entering the narrow bore tube 8 when the medicament is not flowing. Fig. 5C and 5D show an apparatus with a full drug reservoir 3 and a partially empty drug reservoir 3, respectively.
Yet another embodiment of a non-electric disposable pump including a pressurized fluid and a flow restrictor involves the use of an elastomeric volume in a fixed volume drug reservoir. Alternatively, the elastomer may be a closed cell elastomer. The elastomer may be compressed and subsequent controlled expansion of the elastomer will provide the force for delivering the drug. In continuous pumping using a closed cell elastomer comprising a gas, a fluid comprising a drug is pumped at an approximately constant flow rate by maintaining an approximately constant pressure in a fixed volume of an oral fluid impermeable reservoir. To maintain an approximately constant pressure in the reservoir, a generally compressible elastomer is placed in the reservoir. The substantially compressible elastomer may be compressed by applying a pressure, typically less than about 100 bar (e.g., less than 10 bar), to a volume of elastomeric material in the reservoir. The volume of the elastomeric material compressed in the pressurized reservoir may be less than about 67%, 50%, or 25% of the volume of the elastomer at about sea level atmospheric pressure. An exemplary family of such compressible elastomers includes closed cell rubbers (also referred to as closed cell rubber foams). Closed-cell rubbers have air cells completely closed by the rubber, the air cells containing a gas, such as N 2、CO2Or air. At about sea level atmospheric pressure, the closed cell elastomer may have a density of less than 67% of the density of the elastomer without gas,for example, between 67% and 33% of the elastomer without gas, between 33% and 25% of the elastomer without gas, between 25% and 12% of the elastomer without gas, or less than 12% of the density of the elastomer without gas. The volume percent of gas in the elastomer may be greater than 20 volume percent, for example, greater than 50 volume percent, or greater than 75 volume percent, at about sea level atmospheric pressure. The elongation of the elastomer including the gas may be greater than about 25%, for example, between 50% and 200%, between 200% and 450%, or greater than 450%. The gas-containing elastomer may be any shape for fitting in a solid volume drug reservoir. It may be a single piece (such as a block) or alternatively a folded sheet, or it may be multiple pieces, such as gas filled pellets. Typical pore-blocking elastomers may include crosslinked polymers and copolymers of: for example, dienes (e.g., isoprene, chloroprene (neoprene), butadiene); exemplary copolymers include acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene, acrylonitrile-butadiene, or elastomeric polyacrylates, or elastomeric olefins (such as ethylene propylene rubber), or elastomeric silicones and fluorosilicones, or elastomeric polyurethanes. In general, elastomers that are less breathable (and in particular less permeable to water vapor) are preferred.
The drug delivery device comprising a closed cell elastomeric pump is preferably configured and arranged to dispense the drug into the oral cavity of the patient continuously or semi-continuously at an average rate over a delivery period of no less than 4 hours and at a rate in the range of 80% -120% of the average rate over a delivery period of no more than 7 days.
During delivery of a suspension comprising a drug at a constant rate, the elastomer comprising the gas expands such that it occupies most or all of the volume vacated by the suspension that has been delivered and large bubbles are present within the elastomer. In an exemplary method of manufacture and operation of a system for delivering a drug at an approximately constant rate, a closed-cell elastomer may be placed in a drug reservoir equipped with a closed outlet or outlets for drug delivery and optionally with a septum for filling the reservoir. The drug reservoir may have walls made of a material that does not substantially deform under the operating pressure in the reservoir, e.g. the deformation of the walls under the applicable pressure causes a change in the reservoir volume of typically less than 5%, e.g. less than 1%. The suspension containing the drug may then be injected through the septum, compressing the closed gas-containing pores of the rubber and thus pressurizing the reservoir. Opening the outlet or outlets initiates the flow of the suspension comprising the drug, e.g. into the oral cavity. The approximately constant pressure in the reservoir during delivery of the drug may be controlled by, for example, the type of closed cell rubber.
The advantages of an elastomeric infusion pump for use in the oral cavity are: drug delivery from the device can be temporarily stopped if the patient wishes to temporarily remove the drug delivery device from the oral cavity. This may be accomplished, for example, by plugging or closing a flow restrictor (e.g., an orifice, a glass capillary, or a narrow bore tube).
In order to minimize the variation in flow rate when the patient drinks a hot beverage, it is preferred to use the following elastomeric materials: the force of the elastomeric material is relatively independent of temperature in the range of 37 ℃ to 55 ℃. For example, the force in the fresh reservoir may increase by less than 30%, 20%, or 10% as the temperature increases from 37 ℃ to 55 ℃.
Spring driven pump
Positive pressure spring-actuated pumps are powered by energy stored in a compression spring. In one embodiment, the spring is compressed during the reservoir filling process as the volume of solid or fluid in the reservoir increases. In another embodiment, the spring is relaxed prior to use (e.g., during storage and shipment of the product) and the spring is compressed during the process of inserting the pump component into the reusable oral appliance. In yet another embodiment, the spring is relaxed prior to use and the spring is compressed during the process of placing the oral appliance into the oral cavity.
A significant advantage of a spring driven pump for use in the oral cavity is that: drug delivery from the device can be temporarily stopped if the patient wishes to temporarily remove the drug delivery device from the oral cavity. This may be achieved, for example, by: a retraction spring, limiting further expansion or contraction of the spring, or plugging or closing a flow restrictor (e.g., a glass capillary or narrow bore tube).
The spring of the present invention is preferably an approximately constant force spring. To minimize the change in flow rate when delivering solids or fluids, it is desirable to use a sufficiently long spring in the spring, or a set of coaxially coupled springs, or a sufficiently high stress so that the difference between the starting and ending force exerted by the spring is less than 30%, 20%, or 10% of the starting force.
In order to minimize variations in the drug dispensing rate when a patient drinks a hot beverage, it is preferred to use the following spring materials: the force of the spring material is relatively independent of temperature in the range of 37-55 deg.c. For example, the force in the fresh reservoir may increase by less than 30%, 20%, or 10% as the temperature increases from about 37 ℃ to about 55 ℃.
The spring of the present invention may be any type of spring, including conventional metal springs or compressible elastomers. For example, the compressible elastomer may be a solid such as isoprene, or it may contain closed cells (e.g., neoprene).
An example of a spring-driven, fully disposable, constant rate drug infusion pump with a flow restrictor is the Valeritas V-go insulin patch pump described in U.S. N. 13/500,136 (which is incorporated herein by reference).
In embodiments where the drug is delivered into the oral cavity via a tube or channel, the oral fluid impermeable drug reservoir may be kept free of oral fluid by using a tube or channel that is coated with a hydrophobic or non-stick material (e.g., paraffin, Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), or fluorinated polyether) and/or designed with a diameter that may require a sufficiently high pressure so as not to allow ingress of saliva.
Another embodiment of the spring driven drug pump illustrated in fig. 6 comprises using a spring motor to rotate two cylindrical or conical rollers 29, the two cylindrical or conical rollers 29 being attached to an oral fluid impermeable drug reservoir 3 containing the suspension. The roller 29 is constructed of a hydrophobic or non-stick material and may be configured with close tolerances to prevent the introduction of saliva into the reservoir. The rotation of these rollers may draw the suspension from the drug reservoir 3 through the rollers 29 and into the oral cavity. The drum may be configured such that the cut-outs 30 define the dose and the rotational frequency of the drum 30 defines the drug delivery rate. In another embodiment, the cuts 30 may not be present and the spacing between the rollers 29 and the rotational speed of the rollers 29 will define the drug delivery rate. To maintain a constant feed and eliminate the possibility of a gap of medicament to the drum, a spring 31 and piston 32 are employed within the housing 4.
In another embodiment of a compression spring driven drug delivery device, fig. 8 illustrates a compression spring driven pump for delivering a drug suspension. One or more constant force compression springs 31 are used to urge the compression plate 39 toward the orifice 75. The drug is contained in an oral fluid impermeable reservoir having a rigid wall 4. For example, the rigid wall and compression plate may include a syringe barrel and plunger that creates a seal to prevent leakage of the drug into the spring-containing compartment. To eliminate the effect of changes in ambient pressure on the drug delivery rate, a vent 15 is present in the device to allow both the drug reservoir 3 and the drug reservoir nozzle 80 to be exposed to ambient pressure, which reduces or eliminates the effect of changes in ambient gas pressure (e.g., caused by the patient sucking the device and/or changes in elevation). The drug delivery device may optionally comprise a one-way valve 16.
As illustrated in fig. 9, a particularly advantageous embodiment is the use of two coaxial compression springs 31 and 19 connected via a coupling 18, wherein, when compressed, a first spring having a first diameter is fully or partially nested within a second spring having a second, larger diameter. This embodiment provides a smaller overall length over the stroke length and reduced force variation compared to using a single spring.
In yet another embodiment of the helical spring driven drug delivery device, fig. 7A and 7B illustrate an embodiment wherein one or more constant force springs are used to pull the compressible plate towards the orifice. A flexible and/or deformable oral fluid impermeable reservoir within the housing contains a drug. The ends of the spring straddle the seat along a track on the interior of the housing. Fig. 7A shows the position of the spring 37, spring shaft 38, and compression plate 39 when the reservoir 3 is full and the spring 37 is fully extended. Fig. 7B shows the position of the compression plate 39 and spring 37 when the retraction of the spring 37 has delivered all of the medicament from the reservoir 3. In a related embodiment, the drug may be contained within the housing itself and the compression plate creates a seal and acts as a plunger to deliver the drug in a manner similar to a syringe. In this embodiment, the spring is seated across the interior of the housing and the interior of the medicament chamber, inside the sealing sleeve, thereby preventing exposure of the medicament to the spring. To eliminate the effect of changes in ambient pressure on the drug delivery rate, an optional vent 15 is present in the device to allow both the drug reservoir 3 and the drug reservoir nozzle 8 to be exposed to ambient pressure, which reduces or eliminates the effect of changes in ambient gas pressure (e.g., caused by the patient sucking the device and/or changes in elevation).
In another embodiment illustrated in fig. 7C and 7D, the constant force spring 37 remains fixed in space; one end of the spring 37 is attached to the compression plate 39 and pulls the compression plate 39 towards the drug reservoir nozzle 8. Fig. 7C shows the position of the spring 37 and compression plate 39 when the drug reservoir 3 is full and the spring 37 is fully extended. Fig. 7D shows the position of the compression plate 39 and spring 37 when the retraction of the spring 37 has delivered all or most of the drug from the reservoir 3. Fig. 7C and 7D also have a vent 15 incorporated into the design to eliminate any effect of ambient pressure on the drug delivery rate.
In yet another embodiment of the spring pump, one or more compression springs may be used to apply an approximately constant force to a piston or plunger that applies the force to the drug reservoir. By using a very long compression spring with a low spring rate, we can apply a force over a short stroke with a relatively constant force. As an example, a 10 inch long spring with a spring rate of 0.05 lbF/in may be compressed to 8.5 inches and will exert a force of 0.425 lbF. If the spring were allowed to expand to 7.5 inches (1 inch total travel), the force generated would be 0.375 lbF, representing a 12.5% reduction in this travel. In a preferred embodiment, the spring force is in the range of 0.25-10 lbF and preferably less than 10 lbF, 5 lbF, or 1 lbF; a spring rate in the range of 0.01-1 lbF/inch and preferably less than 1 lbF/inch, 0.5 lbF/inch, or 0.05 lbF/inch; a stroke length in the range of 0.5-1 inch and preferably less than 2 inches, 1 inch, or 0.5 inch; and the difference between the starting and ending forces over the stroke is less than 15%, 10%, or 5%.
Qi (Qi)Dynamic pump
Pneumatic pumps use the head of air to generate the driving force. In one embodiment, the diaphragm pump generates a pressure head that pushes a discrete quantity of a drug in solid form (e.g., particles, granules, or powder) from a reservoir into the oral cavity. An example of this design (illustrated in fig. 10) is a rotating disc 54, the rotating disc 54 containing compartments filled with a suspension 55, the suspension 55 being injected through an orifice 56 by means of an air-pressure pill 57 at a predetermined rate, the orifice 56 being fixed in position relative to the rotating disc 54. Rotation of the disc 54 exposes individual compartments and the air bolus 57 delivers the medicament from the compartments to the mouth at a specific rate. The housing may be formed of a transparent material that will allow the user to observe how much drug remains in the device. In another embodiment, the puck may contain a single compartment that rotates and alternatively fills the compartment from the reservoir and delivers the drug with an air bolus. In this configuration, the air not only delivers the drug material, but also removes any saliva prior to refilling the compartment from the reservoir.
Negative pressure pump
The negative pressure pump generates a driving force from a pressure difference on both sides of a low pressure chamber wall of the pump, one side being at low pressure (e.g. inside the partial vacuum chamber) and the other side being at atmospheric pressure. The low pressure in the vacuum chamber may be created during the reservoir filling process. For example, when a fluid containing a drug is added to the reservoir, the expansion of the oral fluid impermeable reservoir may cause the simultaneous expansion of the reduced pressure chamber, thus creating a significant vacuum. During the dispensing of solid or fluid drugs, the pressure on the movable wall plunger is generated by a large pressure difference between its two sides, causing it to move and compress the solid or fluid in the drug-containing chamber.
Significant advantages of a negative pressure pump for use in the oral cavity are: drug delivery from the device can be temporarily stopped if the patient wishes to temporarily remove the drug delivery device from the oral cavity. This may be accomplished, for example, by plugging or closing a flow restrictor (e.g., a glass capillary or narrow bore tube).
Gas-driven infusion pump
In one embodiment, the gas-driven drug delivery device comprises two or more compartments, wherein the pressurized gas is in at least one compartment and the suspension is dispensed in at least one separate oral fluid impermeable drug reservoir. The pressurized gas provides the driving force. The two compartments are separated by a movable member (such as a flexible and/or deformable membrane) that transfers force from the gas feed to the suspension.
The housing containing the two compartments is typically constructed to have a fixed volume that does not change significantly as the internal pressure in the compartment dispensing the medicament and containing the pressurized gas drops. An example is a reservoir in the shape of a syringe cylinder comprising: a fluid dispensing orifice at the distal end of the syringe barrel; a sealed proximal end of the syringe barrel; a movable rubber or elastomeric plunger in the syringe barrel separating the syringe barrel into two compartments; a fluid comprising a drug in the distal compartment; and a pressurized gas in the proximal compartment. In another example, the medicament compartment may have a bellows shape and may be surrounded by a gas compartment, such that pressurized gas compresses the bellows and forces the fluid comprising the medicament through the flow restrictor.
Fig. 11A, 11B and 11C illustrate another embodiment in which a first elastomeric drug reservoir 3 is compressed by a second elastomeric compartment 7 containing a gas or propellant. In fig. 11A, the drug delivery device comprises a housing containing a first full elastomer drug reservoir 3; a second empty elastomeric compartment 7; and optionally a gas pump 11, and electronics. In one embodiment, an electrically powered (e.g., piezoelectric) pump 11 pumps gas and/or saliva into the second elastomer reservoir 7. In another embodiment, the second elastomer reservoir 7 contains a compressed gas or propellant and no pump is required. In either embodiment, pressure from the second elastomeric reservoir 7 compresses the first elastomeric reservoir 3 containing the drug, forcing the drug out of the reservoir through the flow restrictor 58 at a constant rate. Fig. 11B illustrates the system when the drug reservoir 3 is half full. Fig. 11C illustrates the system when the drug reservoir 3 is near empty.
In one embodiment, the gas (e.g., carbon dioxide, nitrogen) is contained in a micro gas cylinder or cylinder. The gas cartridge has an external volume less than or equal to 5 mL, 2 mL, or 1 mL and has a storage pressure of 100-. Exemplary gas cartridges are: product number 40106 (1.00 "CO", see also, Inc.; product number 2614, zip code 07080, of Leland Gas Technologies, Inc. (southern Leifen-Flield-Clinton, N.J.) 2Filling; 0.75 g) and 40106IIN21750 nitrogen cylinder (1.00 "N)2Filling; 0.135 grams), and product number SM-2 (5/32 "single-action spring return subminiature bottle) manufactured by cliprod Instrument Laboratory limited (zip code 45239, 7390, colorrain street, cincinnati, oh). Gas from a micro-cartridge or vial may be used to compress the oral fluid impermeable drug reservoir, thus delivering the drug. The gas pressurizing cartridge may be used with a one-stage or two-stage regulator to provide a constant flow of gas under pressure when the drug reservoir is empty. Fig. 12 shows a schematic diagram of a commercially available two-stage regulator. Examples of miniature two-stage regulators are: manufactured by Beswick Engineering, Inc. (Greenland road 284, N.H., zip 03840-2442)Product categories PRD2 and PRD 3. A two-stage regulator is used to gradually reduce the pressure from high to very low, in this example from the gas cylinder to the piston chamber of the pump. The first stage 59 reduces the gas pressure to an intermediate pressure. The gas at this intermediate pressure then enters the second stage 60 and is further reduced by the second stage 60 to the working pressure. In a related embodiment, the gas cartridge contains optionally reversible CO 2Absorbing or adsorbing solids, e.g. in the Henry region thereof, the optionally reversible CO2The absorbing or adsorbing solid maintains approximately constant CO at about 37 deg.C2And (4) pressure. Reversible CO2The absorbing or adsorbing solid may be: for example, high surface area activated carbon, silica (e.g., silica gel), modified with n-propylamine or with another amine or heterocyclic nitrogen compound. The BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) specific surface area of the material may be greater than 50 m2G, such as at 50 m2G and 500 m2Between/g, or more than 500 m2(ii) in terms of/g. The material may contain more than 0.5 mmoles of amine-functional groups per gram, for example between 1 and 5 mmoles of amine-functional groups per gram. For example, the articles "microorganisms and Kinetics for transduction of CO" by Z.Bacsik, N.Ahlsten, A.Ziadi, G.ZHao, A.E.Garcia-Bennett, B.Martini-Matute, and N.Hedin published in 2011 at Langmuir journal Vol.27, p.11118-2on biconsinus mesotoporus silicon Modified with n-Propylamine "describes an exemplary reversible CO2An absorbing or adsorbing solid, which is incorporated herein by reference and in the references cited by back et al (which are also incorporated herein by reference). The material may also belong to the MIL-53 family of soft porous crystals, such as MIL-53(Al), MIL-53(Al) -11.1% NH2, MIL-53(Al) -20% NH 2、MIL-53(Al)-50% NH2、MIL-53(Al)-66.7% NH2And MIL-53 (Al) -NH2Such as M.Pera-Titus, T.Lescout, S.Aguaado, and D.Farrusseng, as described in "Quantitative Characterization of mining up addition for a Series of Amino-Functionalized MIL-53" (J.Phys. chem. C.J.2012, Vol.116, 9507-. AIn general, reversible CO occurs when the silica also contains bound water2Absorption of amine modified carbon, zeolite, silica or silica gel will absorb CO2. The material may also comprise high surface area carbon or activated carbon, for example, as described in the following articles: n, Casas, j. Schell, r. Pini, m. Mazzotti, published in Adsorption (2012) 18: 143 "Fixed bed adsorption of CO2 on 161-/H2 mix on activated carbon: experiments and modeling ", and J Schell, N Casas, R Pini, M Mazzotti," Pure and binary addition of CO "at addition (2012) 18:49-652, H2, and N2 on activated carbon”。
The material may provide an approximately constant CO of greater than 1 bar (e.g., between 1.2 and 2.0 bar, or between 2.0 and 5.0 bar, or between 5 and 20 bar)2And (4) pressure.
In yet another related embodiment, the gas cartridge may contain a solid metal hydride, providing an approximately constant hydrogen pressure at about 37 ℃. The metal hydride may include, for example, an alloy of a rare earth element (e.g., lanthanum) and a transition metal (e.g., nickel), and may also include magnesium.
In some embodiments, the pressurized gaseous material is maintained in a gaseous state at a temperature in the range of 0 ℃ to 37 ℃. A disadvantage of this embodiment is that the drug diffusion rate tends to decrease as the drug is dispensed, since the gas pressure decreases as the gas expands. For this reason, it is preferred to use a sufficiently high gas pressure in the pump so that the difference between the starting gas pressure and the ending gas pressure is less than 30%, 20%, or 10% of the starting gas pressure.
In order to minimize variations in flow rate when a patient drinks a hot beverage, it is preferable to minimize the volume of gas relative to the volume of fluid comprising the medicament. The volume of gas may be 40%, 30%, 20%, or 10% less than the volume of fluid comprising the drug in the fresh reservoir. For example, the force in the fresh reservoir may increase by less than 30%, 20%, or 10% as the temperature increases from 37 ℃ to 55 ℃.
In a preferred embodiment, the drug delivery device comprises a volatile propellant in one compartment and a drug in a second compartment, the propellant boiling at a temperature of less than about 37 ℃ at sea level atmospheric pressure. The propellant is at a pressure of more than 1 bar so that a part or a majority of the propellant is liquid at 37 ℃ and has a small volume. Optionally, the part or the majority of the liquid propellant in the device has a saturation vapour pressure at about 37 ℃, which is greater than about 1 bar and less than about 50 bar, for example, greater than about 1.5 bar and less than about 25 bar, such as greater than about 1.5 bar and less than about 20 bar, such as greater than about 2 bar and less than about 15 bar, such as between 2 bar and about 10 bar, such as between 3 bar and 10 bar. In this embodiment, the propellant-driven drug delivery device may include an oral fluid impermeable drug reservoir having a pressure liquefied propellant (i.e., a propellant-containing compartment within the drug delivery device) so as to have the pressurized volatile propellant liquid and the fluid comprising the infused drug located in different compartments. Alternatively, the wall material of the propellant-containing compartment may be expandable or readily plastically deformable (such as elastomeric or non-elastomeric), allowing the propellant-containing compartment to expand when the drug-containing fluid is depleted. Typically, some of these propellants are gases at 37 ℃ at a pressure of 1 bar. The formulation including the drug may maintain an approximately constant pressure when infused in the oral cavity. In the embodiment shown in fig. 13A and 13B, the gas compartment is enclosed by an inflatable membrane 61 and is located within the oral fluid impermeable drug reservoir 3. The propellant exerts an approximately constant pressure on the inflatable membrane 61 as the inflatable membrane 61 inflates and pushes the solid or fluid drug from the oral fluid impermeable drug reservoir 3 through the narrow bore tube 8. Alternatively, a narrow bore tube may be used as a flow restrictor to control the rate of delivery, or there may be a separate flow restrictor. Fig. 13A shows a compressed expandable compartment 61 containing a propellant within a full drug reservoir 3. Fig. 13B shows the almost empty drug reservoir 3 and the expanded expandable compartment 61 containing propellant. An advantage of this embodiment is that the drug delivery rate is not reduced when the drug is dispensed.
In a preferred embodiment, the propellant and the solid or fluid medicament are contained within a rigid metal casing (e.g., titanium or titanium alloy) that does not deform significantly under the pressure of the propellant. The housing includes a liquid impermeable drug reservoir. The propellant and the medicament are separated within the housing by a flexible and/or deformable membrane which transmits pressure from the propellant compartment to the medicament compartment. The flexible and/or deformable membrane may comprise a metal plate substantially free of pinholes, such as a tin-containing sheet or a silver-containing sheet, typically between 10 μm and 250 μm, for example between 20 μm and 125 μm, such as between 25 μm and 75 μm in thickness. To achieve a gas-tight sealing of the propellant compartment, the metal membrane may be welded to the metal casing, for example by resistance welding (i.e. by applying a current pulse or pulse sequence).
In one embodiment, the gas may be contained within a gas-impermeable, non-flexible material, such as metalized Mylar (polyester film), that is folded so that expansion of the gas expands the gas compartments and allows pressurization of the solid or fluid medicament to occur. Alternatively, the deployment compartment may be coil-shaped or bellows-shaped.
In another embodiment of the gas-driven pump, a propellant may be used to deliver the suspension containing the drug. In fig. 14A and 14B, the propellant (which is contained within the propellant chamber 63) pushes against the piston 64, which in turn applies a constant pressure to the column of drug suspension. The flow rate of the drug suspension 66 may be influenced by friction at the interface between the suspension and the inner drug reservoir wall and by a check valve 65 at the outlet port. Thus, the flow resistance may change when the drug reservoir 3 is emptied. To mitigate or eliminate this variation, the resistance to plunger movement (i.e., friction) may be made sufficiently greater than the resistance of the suspension to maintain the flow rate within the desired tolerance. In a related embodiment, a vent in the housing of the propellant-driven piston allows the piston to be exposed to ambient pressure, thus eliminating the effect of changes in ambient pressure on the flow rate of the medicament. This embodiment is illustrated in fig. 14C and 14D. Fig. 14C shows the drug reservoir 3 in its full state. The piston 64 is positioned next to the drug reservoir 3 on one end and within the propellant chamber 67 on its opposite end. The piston 64 forms a seal with the propellant chamber 67 so as to allow pressurization of the propellant and maintain its pressure within the volume created by the propellant chamber 67 and the piston 64. Upon exposure of the propellant to body temperature, the propellant will pressurize, thereby pushing the piston 64 against the drug reservoir 3. The vent 15 maintains ambient pressure around the drug reservoir 3. Fig. 14D shows the device after a period of time has elapsed and the collapsible drug reservoir 3 has been emptied of a portion of its contents. A filling partition 68 is located on the other side of the piston 64 to allow filling of the propellant compartment 67.
In yet another embodiment, the drug delivery device comprises a propellant and a drug located together in the same compartment. The saturation vapor pressure of the propellant may be between about 1 bar and 50 bar (e.g., 1.5-20 bar, 2-10 bar, or 1.5 and 6 bar) at 37 ℃. At 37 ℃ under the pressure of the compartment, a portion of the propellant may be a gas and a portion a liquid. In this embodiment, the propellant-driven drug delivery device may include an oral fluid impermeable drug reservoir having a pressure liquefied propellant (i.e., a volatile liquid propellant in the reservoir) such that the pressurized volatile propellant liquid and the suspension comprising the infusion drug are both located in the same compartment. The propellant may not be substantially dissolved in the composition comprising the drug, but may be dispersed therein so as to form an approximately homogeneous mixture. The propellant may maintain an approximately constant pressure when the formulation including the drug is infused in the oral cavity.
Since separation or isolation of the liquid propellant and the drug formulation may result in the intraoral delivery of a fluid rich in propellant or poor in propellant and thus in fewer or more than the intended dose of drug, the liquid propellant may be dissolved or co-dispersed in the suspension. The propellant liquid may be homogeneously dispersed in any phase, for example, in a non-aqueous phase, which may optionally be part of an emulsion, optionally formed by the addition of an emulsifier (such as lecithin) or by pickering emulsification, where small solid drugs or other particles stabilize the emulsion. In general, the emulsion can be stable for up to at least 24 hours and can be reformed by stirring (e.g., by shaking). The optional emulsion may be foamable or non-foamable, and may include an emulsifier such as lecithin, a protein, or a surfactant, which may be non-ionic, for example, including a glyceryl monoester, such as glyceryl monooleate, Tween, or a polysorbate. Examples of emulsifiers in propellants comprising mixtures are listed in the following documents: for example, U.S. patent No. 6,511,655 and U.S. patent publication No. 2003/0049214, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
Alternatively, for example, when the carrier liquid is non-aqueous, e.g., when it is an edible oil or a pharmaceutically acceptable paraffinic oil, the liquid propellant may be dissolved in the carrier liquid of the formulation comprising the solid drug. The propellant dissolving carrier liquid may optionally be a temperature sensitive liquid, such as cocoa butter.
The volatile liquid propellant evaporates as the medicament is dispensed and the internal pressure decreases in the gas compartment, thereby maintaining an approximately constant pressure within the oral fluid impermeable reservoir. An advantage of this embodiment is that the drug infusion rate is not reduced when the drug is dispensed.
In a related embodiment, the gas driven drug delivery device comprises an oral fluid impermeable drug reservoir having one or more compartments, wherein a non-toxic propellant gas (formed from an optionally substantially immiscible pressurized fluid when the pressure is reduced to about 1 bar) and the drug to be infused are both present in at least one compartment. The propellant gas provides the driving force. The pressure liquefied gas may optionally be soluble in the drug-containing fluid so as to maintain the pressure in the reservoir approximately constant at an approximately constant body temperature in the oral cavity approaching 37 ℃.
Alternatively, the pressurized gas may be dissolved in a fluid comprising the drug. For example, when the fluid being infused in the oral cavity is aqueous, or when it comprises ethanol and the reservoir is pressurized, the pressurized gas may be CO2. When the fluid infused in the oral cavity comprises an edible oil (such as vegetable oil, monoglyceride, diglyceride or triglyceride, paraffin oil) and the reservoir is pressurized, the pressurized gas may be a fluorohydrocarbon, Freon s, or a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon (such as an olefin). When the pressurized gas is dissolved in the fluid in the oral fluid impermeable reservoir, the pressure may be about constant at a constant temperature of about 37 ℃ in the oral cavity, resulting in an about constant flow rate.
Examples of continuous subcutaneous drug infusion compressed air or Freon (Freon @) pressurizing pumps include those described in the following documents: U.S. patent nos. 4,265,241, 4,373,527, 4,781,688, 4,931,050, 4,978,338, 5,061,242, 5,067,943, 5,176,641, 6,740,059, and 7,250,037, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. When the reservoir is refillable and when the pumping is by pressurization, the reservoir may be pressurized as it refills.
An example of a propellant driven implanted drug infusion pump is the codeman pump described in the following documents: U.S. patent No. 7,905,878, european patent No. EP 2177792B 1, and EP 1527794B 1, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
In order to provide different dosage rates to different patients, fluids with different drug concentrations may be placed in the reservoir, thus not making it necessary to modify the drug delivery device or the flow rate. Alternatively, the drug concentration in the reservoir may be kept constant and the flow rate may be varied, for example, by changing the diameter or length of the flow restrictor.
Exemplary volatile propellant compounds for use in the devices of the present invention include: hydrocarbons (e.g., pentane, isopentane, 1-pentene, trans-2-pentene, trans-dimethyl ring, ethyl ring, 1, 4-pentadiene, 2-methyl-1, 3-butadiene, and methyl-1-butane, 2-butyne); halocarbons (e.g., trichlorofluoromethane; difluoromethane; 1, 1-dichloro-1-fluoroethane; 2, 2-dichloro-1, 1, 1-trifluoroethane; 1-fluorobutane; 2-fluorobutane; perfluoropentane; 1, 1-dichloroethylene; cis-1-chloropropene; and 2-chloropropene); esters (e.g., methyl formate); ethers (e.g., diethyl ether); and hydrofluoroalkanes. Preferred propellants are those approved by the FDA (food and drug administration) for use in a drug inhaler, such as 1,1,1,2 tetrafluoroethane (sold as DuPont Dymel (r)134 a/P); and 1,1,1,2,3,3,3 heptafluoropropane, sold as 227ea/P (sold as DuPont ™ Dymel @ 227 ea/P). Also preferred are FDA approved propellants for topical application, such as, 1,1,1,3,3,3 hexafluoropropane (sold as DuPont ™ Dymel 236 fa); and approved propellants for use in food and direct-traded hexachlorobenzene pharmaceutical products, such as octafluorocyclobutane and isopentane, respectively.
Exemplary pressurized liquid thrusts are listed in table 1 along with their vapor pressures at 37 ℃.

When the pressurised gas and the medicament are located in the same compartment, the gas may be selected to be safe, non-toxic, and non-irritating when delivered into the oral cavity and inhaled into the lungs at a delivery rate according to the invention. Further, the gas may be selected so as not to adversely affect the stability of the drug and formulation in the reservoir. Therefore, chemically inert gases (meaning gases that do not react at body temperature with any component of the composition being infused intraorally) are preferred. Preferably, the propellant used in the drug delivery device of the present invention is n-butane, isopentane, 1-butene, 1-fluoropropane, trifluorochloromethane, difluoromethane, dichlorofluoromethane, 1,1,1,2,3,3, 3-heptafluoropropane, 1,1,1,3,3, 3-hexafluoropropane, or 1,1,1, 2-tetrafluoroethane.
A source of inaccuracy in propellant pressurizing devices is that pressure (such as vapor pressure of liquid propellant) increases with temperature. An important benefit of carrying the drug delivery device of the present invention within the oral cavity is that the pressure is kept almost constant at about 37 ℃, thus minimizing variations in the infusion rate.
In another embodiment, the gas is generated by a gas driven drug delivery device. For example, a low current electrolyte may be used to generate hydrogen. An exemplary hydrogen generation system is D-73479 Elegan/Yagert Daimlerstr.1, GermanyA hydrogen generating unit sold by VARTA Microbattery GmbH. The VARTA system is capable of generating 130 ml, 260 ml, or more of ultrapure H at high back pressure2. An advantage of this system is that it does not require the gas to be stored in the drug delivery device before its use.
Advantages of a gas-driven infusion pump for use in the oral cavity are: if the patient wishes to temporarily remove the drug delivery device from the oral cavity, the delivery of the drug from the device can be temporarily stopped or greatly reduced. This can be achieved, for example, by: by plugging or closing a flow restrictor (e.g., an orifice, a glass capillary, or a narrow bore tube), by cooling to a temperature below that in the oral cavity, e.g., to room temperature, typically 20-25 ℃, or by placing the device in a refrigerator, typically at 3-8 ℃.
Propellant driven pump
The following sections provide additional details regarding the design and manufacturing process of a propellant-driven pump for delivering a pharmaceutical composition comprising an LD/CD paste. It will be appreciated that similar designs and manufacturing processes may be used as with other pumps and pharmaceutical formulations of the present invention.
The device of the present invention may be a propellant pumped, rigid-walled, intraoral, continuous drug delivery device having a drug compartment and a propellant compartment separated by an optional metal membrane. In one embodiment, a device for continuous or semi-continuous intraoral drug administration is configured to be removably inserted in a patient's mouth. The pump may be propellant driven. The drug delivery device comprises: a chamber containing a propellant, a chamber containing a fluid (such as a paste) comprising a drug, and a flexible and/or deformable membrane separating the propellant chamber from the drug chamber. The housing of the device may be rigid and may be gas and liquid impermeable, for example, to: gaseous and liquid propellants, gaseous nitrogen, gaseous or dissolved oxygen, gaseous or dissolved air, water vapor, liquid water, saliva, and/or gaseous helium; the drug reservoir may be an oral fluid impermeable reservoir. In a preferred embodiment, the rigid housing forms the wall of a chamber containing the fluid comprising the medicament and the wall of a chamber containing the propellant, and the two chambers are separated by a membrane. The separating membrane comprises a metal, i.e. the membrane may be metallic or a metallized polymer. The device will dispense at least 50% (e.g., 50% -99%, 60% -95%, 75% -95%, 51% -60%, 61% -70%, 71% -80%, 81% -90%, 91% -95%, or 95% -99%) of the weight of the fluid (e.g., paste) including the drug in the chamber, and preferably the rate of drug delivery (representing the flow rate or extrusion rate) will vary by less than ± 20% (e.g., less than ± 15%, less than ± 10%, or less than ± 5%) over a period of greater than or equal to 4, 8, 16, or 24 hours.
The rigid walls of the chamber (which may comprise part of the housing) comprising the medicament and propellant may be strong, dense and it may be metallic. In a preferred embodiment, the rigid housing forms a wall of the chamber containing the medicament and/or a wall of the chamber containing the propellant. The rigid shell of the chamber wall may be strong and comprise a composite of metal, ceramic, or fiber reinforced polymer. The fibers used to reinforce the polymer may include: such as carbon fibers, glass fibers, or metal fibers. The housing may comprise the following materials: the material has a tensile yield strength of greater than 100 MPa (such as greater than 200 MPa, 300 MPa, 400 MPa, or 500 MPa) at about 25 ± 3 ℃; and/or the housing may comprise the following materials: the material has an elastic modulus (Young's modulus) at 25 + -3 deg.C of greater than 30 GPa (such as greater than 50 GPa, 75 GPa, or 100 GPa); and/or may include the following materials: the material has a brinell hardness greater than 200 MPa (such as greater than 400 MPa or 600 MPa) at 25 ± 3 ℃; and/or the housing may comprise the following materials: the material has a viscosity of more than 2.5 g/cm at 25 + -3 deg.C 3(e.g., greater than 3.5 g/cm)3Such as, for example, about 4.5 g/cm or greater3、5.5 g/cm3、6.5 g/cm3Or 7.5 g/cm3) The density of (c). When metallic, the housingThe metal of (a) may be selected from the group consisting of: titanium, iron, aluminum, molybdenum, or tungsten, or alloys of titanium, iron, aluminum, molybdenum, or tungsten; for example, it may comprise titanium or a titanium alloy.
The membrane for separating the chamber containing the fluid comprising the drug from the chamber containing the propellant may be or comprise a flexible and/or deformable metal foil. In a preferred embodiment, the membrane for separating the chamber containing the fluid comprising the medicament from the chamber containing the propellant may be metallic or comprise a metal. It may be a flexible and/or deformable pinhole-free metal foil. The density of the separator metal may be greater than 2.0 g/cm at 25 deg.C3. For example, it may be greater than 2.5 g/cm at 25 ℃3Such as, for example, greater than 4.0 g/cm3、7.0 g/cm3Or 10.0 g/cm3. Alternatively, the tensile strength of the diaphragm material may be greater than 25 MPa, for example, it may be greater than 50 MPa, 75 MPa, or 100 MPa at 25 ± 3 ℃, and/or its elastic modulus may be greater than about 20 GPa, such as greater than 30 GPa, 40 GPa, or 50 GPa. For example, the metal diaphragm may comprise silver or a silver alloy; alternatively, it may comprise tin or a tin alloy; or it may comprise aluminum or an aluminum alloy; or it may comprise magnesium or a magnesium alloy; or it may comprise titanium or a titanium alloy; or it may comprise copper or a copper alloy. The membrane may be a pinhole-free flexible and/or deformable foil of the following metals: silver, tin, aluminum, magnesium, or copper. When heated, the metal membrane may optionally alloy the metal of the housing such that the membrane is welded at its rim to the housing wall to form a gas-tight, gas-tight seal (e.g., impervious to propellant and/or helium). The diaphragm may be shaped to substantially conform to the inner housing wall of the drug chamber, the inner housing wall of the propellant chamber, and the inner housing walls of both chambers. As illustrated in fig. 23A to 23C, in a preferred embodiment, the propellant driven pump comprises a medicament chamber 89 and a propellant chamber 93 separated by a diaphragm 90. The diaphragm 90 is attached to the two shells by welding 91. The pump further comprises a sealable port 92, the sealable port 92 being for example for The propellant is introduced by needle or nozzle injection. Fig. 23A shows an initial configuration of the pump in which the drug and propellant chambers are full. Fig. 23B shows the pump partially full, and fig. 23C shows the pump when delivery of the drug is complete.
The housing may be made of two or more parts that are joined together. The parts may be joined together by welding (optionally with a diaphragm) or by forming a compression seal (meaning a seal formed by pressing the parts together), the parts optionally being separated by a sealant, an example of which is a polymer or a soft metal (e.g. tin). The inner housing wall of the propellant chamber and the inner housing wall of the drug chamber may be substantially mirror images of each other, meaning that they may be substantially symmetrical about a central plane, except that their ports are different and the inner housing wall of the drug chamber may have grooves or similar flow promoting features, whereas the mirror image inner housing wall of the propellant chamber may not have grooves or similar flow promoting features.
In a preferred embodiment, the housing wall of the drug chamber may include a sealable port that allows introduction of the pharmaceutical composition. The port may be temporarily or permanently sealed before or after the filling process, for example, by a grommet, septum, drug delivery nozzle, flow restrictor, or delivery conduit. The port may optionally also be used to deliver drugs during operation of the device, for example, by attaching a drug delivery nozzle, a flow restrictor, or a delivery conduit. Alternatively, the flow control nozzle, channel, or conduit may be made of plastic (such as engineering plastic). The nozzle, channel, or conduit may have an inner diameter that is less than 1 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.3 mm, or 0.1 mm, and it may be shorter than 10 cm, 5 cm, 2 cm, or 1 cm, such as 0.5 cm. The preferred minimum inner diameter is 0.1-2 mm (0.1-0.7 mm, 0.2-0.5 mm, 0.5-0.75 mm, 0.75-1.0 mm, 1.0-1.5 mm, or 1.5-2.0 mm), and the preferred length is 0.25-5 cm (such as 1-2.5 cm, 1-5 cm, 0.25-0.5 cm, 0.5-0.75 cm, 0.75-1 cm, 1-2 cm, 2-3 cm, 3-4 cm, or 4-5 cm).
Fig. 24 and 25 illustrate a port 102 in a pump housing 101 that forms a wall of the chamber 89 containing a pharmaceutical composition (e.g., LD/CD suspension) with an elastomeric grommet 94 inserted in the port. A filling nozzle 95 may be inserted through the grommet to fill the drug-containing chamber 89 with the pharmaceutical composition. The filling nozzle 95 may then be removed and replaced by the delivery nozzle 96.
Preferably, the housing wall of the propellant chamber includes a second sealable port (e.g., containing a grommet, septum, or similar resealable member) for filling the propellant chamber with propellant. A propellant delivery nozzle may be inserted into the septum and the propellant chamber filled. Preferably, the drug chamber is filled first and the propellant chamber is filled subsequently.
Patient compliance depends on the drug delivery device and the holder being comfortable when worn in the oral cavity. Preferably, the system does not substantially affect the appearance of the wearer, interfere with speech, or interfere with swallowing and drinking. For comfort and to avoid making large changes to the appearance of the wearer's face, the intraoral pump may have a generally beveled circular shape. An exemplary location of the pump in the mouth is the maxilla position. In general, it is preferred that the pump and/or its drug outlet is positioned so as to avoid the possibility of excessive drug accumulation in the buccal vestibulum. To avoid irritation of the tissue, the surface of the pump is smooth. For example, the pump surface in contact with the cheek tissue may have a protrusion that is less than about 100 μm, e.g., less than about 30 μm, 10 μm, 5 μm, or 1 μm.
The pump may contain between about 0.1 mL and about 2 mL of fluid including the drug, such as between about 0.2 mL and about 1.2 mL, for example, between about 0.6 mL and about 1 mL. An exemplary pump having a drug reservoir of 0.8 mL contains about 1 g of a composition having a density of about 1.25 g/mL, in some compositions there may be 800 mg/mL of a composition comprising primarily solids, which are primarily the solid drug itself or primarily the solid excipient. When the solid is a drug of density of about 1.5 g/mL (such as LD or CD), the reservoir may contain about 0.64 g of the primary solid drug.
For example, the pump may be generally of a beveled circular shape and it may be generally of a flattened teardrop shape. The dimensions of the generally obround shaped pump are: width measured on the vestibular surface outward from the teeth, height measured in the teething direction, and length measured along the direction of a series of teeth (typically including molars). The width (outer dimension OD) of the pump housing may be between about 3 mm and about 10 mm; its height (OD) may be between about 5 mm and about 18 mm; its length (OD) may be between about 10 mm and about 30 mm. Preferably, the length of the pump housing may be such that the pump housing spans one or more teeth, but not three teeth. The thickness of the wall of the housing may be between about 0.2 mm and about 2 mm, such as between about 0.3 mm and about 1.0 mm.
The width of the generally flat teardrop-shaped pump, its length, and the thickness of the wall housing may be similar to those of the beveled circular pump. When located in the buccal vestibule, the anterior side may have a lesser height than the posterior side. For example, the rear side may be between 1.1 and twice the height of the front side, such as between 1.3 and 1.8 times its height, e.g. between 1.4 and 1.6 times its height.
In one embodiment, the metal diaphragm is approximately uniformly thick and it is free of pinholes. The thickness of the pinhole-free metal separator may be between about 10 μm and about 1 mm. For example, the membrane may be between about 10 μm and 250 μm, for example, between 20 μm and 125 μm, such as between 25 μm and 75 μm. The thickness of the diaphragm and associated stiffness (representing its resistance to shape change under stress) may vary by less than ± 25% (such as less than ± 10%) across the diaphragm. In some embodiments, the rim of the diaphragm is thicker than the center of approximately uniform thickness in order to facilitate sealing, e.g., creating a hermetic seal via welding. The center of approximately uniform thickness may constitute greater than 80% or more of the area of the diaphragm, with the thicker rim typically constituting less than about 20% of the area of the diaphragm. The rim of the diaphragm may be more than 1.5 times thicker than its center, for example, 1.5-2 times thicker than its center, or 2-3 times thicker, or more than 3 times thicker than its center. In another embodiment, the septum has a non-uniform thickness along its length and/or width. The variable thickness allows the diaphragm to counteract internal forces and deflection in a predictable manner.
The peripheral edge of the diaphragm is shaped and sized to match the peripheral edge of the central cross-sectional plane of the housing, which is generally in the shape of a beveled circle or a flattened teardrop. For example, the membrane may be made by forcing a metal sheet into a mold (such as by calcining it around a pure silver or tin foil having a thickness between 0.02 mm and 0.10 mm). Alternatively, the diaphragm may be made by stamping a formable metal foil or sheet (typically between 0.02 mm and 0.10 mm in thickness). Parameters that can affect formability include: strain, or work hardening, of the metal, the index (referred to as its n-value), and the strain rate in the width and thickness directions (referred to as its r-value). The typical r-value of the silver from which the membrane is made is 0.75 to 1.0 and the typical n-value is 0.2 to 0.4. The height of the stamped, metal, optionally beveled circular, cup-shaped diaphragm (matching with respect to the width of the housing) may be between about 3 mm and about 10 mm; its width (matching the height of the housing) may be between about 5 mm and about 18 mm; and may be between about 10 mm and about 30 mm in length. Optionally the beveled circular diaphragm may be folded, pleated, or scored. For example, it may be formed by hydroforming or by stamping, optionally with heating by hot stamping. It may be formed by stamping or deep drawing (optionally with heat), or it may be formed by electroplating or by electroless plating.
Optionally, a flexible and/or deformable metal membrane separating the drug chamber and the propellant chamber may be welded to the housing so as to form a hermetically sealed chamber having a propellant fill port and a drug delivery port. The pump may be hermetically sealed, meaning that its chamber containing the drug and its chamber containing the propellant are hermetically sealed, except for one, two or more drug delivery ports of the drug chamber. Each chamber may include one or more ports for filling or for releasing gas (such as air or nitrogen or any inert gas present in the chamber when the chamber is filled). The housing wall of the chamber comprising the drug may comprise one, two, or more hermetically sealable or sealed orifices for filling with the drug and/or for drug delivery. These ports are hermetically sealable or sealed after filling.
The housing wall of the chamber containing the medicament may include one or more sealable or sealed ports for medicament delivery. The propellant-containing chamber may be hermetically sealed and may include a hermetically sealable or sealed port for filling with propellant.
When stored, the pump may be hermetically sealed. When in use, the drug may flow or be squeezed through one, two, or more drug delivery ports to which a flow control tube or tube may be attached or which may itself control the flow.
As shown in fig. 23A-23C, for hermetic enclosure, the drug chamber 89, the propellant chamber 93, and the membrane 90 may be joined by a hermetic seal weld 91, e.g., the hermetic seal weld 91 prevents a flush of air or water vapor, or alternatively prevents a flush of an inert gas (e.g., nitrogen or argon), or water vapor, or saliva, or prevents any component of a composition comprising the drug from flushing out of the drug chamber, or prevents the propellant from flushing out of the propellant chamber during the rated shelf life of the device (which may be longer than 3 months, such as longer than 6, 12, 18, or 24 months). Optionally, the welding may prevent helium from flooding into and/or helium from the chamber containing the drug and/or from the chamber containing the propellant, or both. The hermetic seal weld may be a weld between a metal housing and a metal diaphragm, wherein the metal of the housing and diaphragm are the same or they may be different. For example, the weld may be between the metal forming the wall of the housing (representing the wall of the chamber containing the medicament and/or the chamber containing the propellant) and a different metal of the diaphragm (which typically melts at a lower temperature than the metal of the housing). For example, the housing may comprise titanium or a titanium alloy to which the metal diaphragm is welded. The diaphragm welded to the titanium or titanium alloy housing may include: such as silver or silver alloys. The hermetic seal weld may comprise an alloy of silver and titanium. Alternatively, the housing may comprise iron or an iron alloy, such as steel exemplified by stainless steel, and the diaphragm may comprise silver or a silver alloy or tin. The hermetic seal weld may be between metal diaphragms that may be welded to iron or iron alloys. For example, the solder may comprise an alloy comprising silver and iron or silver and nickel. The method for forming a hermetic weld may include: such as resistance welding, laser welding, or electron beam welding. The welding method may include additional steps such as pre-heating (i.e. heating the diaphragm and the housing prior to welding) and/or annealing (optionally at a temperature between 400 ℃ and 700 ℃, typically for 15 minutes or more) after welding.
The device of the present invention may comprise channels, grooves, or conduits for providing a constant rate for delivery of most or almost all of the drug. During delivery of the drug, the septum may be deformed such that it partially or completely isolates the volume of fluid comprising the drug within the drug-containing chamber from the outlet port or ports. This isolation may result in a cessation of drug flow or a reduction in the flow rate of the fluid comprising the drug, while the chamber still contains a substantial portion of the fluid. To deliver most or almost all of the drug-containing fluid in the chamber at an approximately constant rate, the device may include a channel that reduces or eliminates clogging by the septum as it extends into the drug-containing chamber device during delivery. Exemplary blockage reducing or preventing passages are: a conduit inserted in the chamber comprising the drug and connected to the outlet port or ports in the chamber; or an insert comprising a groove in the chamber; or a groove or grooves in the wall of the chamber. For example, a slotted plate or tube may be inserted in a chamber containing a drug to form a channel or channels in which the drug may flow. The tube, tubes, grooves, or grooves may form a channel or channels that remain open and unblocked by the septum after more than 50% (such as more than 60%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95%) by weight of the drug in the chamber may be delivered. Optionally, there are a plurality of grooves forming a plurality of flow channels, optionally interconnected, which allow flow between the channels. Fig. 26A and 26B illustrate exemplary grooves in the surface of a chamber including a drug. In one embodiment illustrated in fig. 26A, the slotted flow passage 97 allows for passage to the nozzle 98 from a single location within the pump. In another embodiment illustrated in fig. 26B, the interconnected flow channels 99 form a network of channels that feed into a single central channel 100 in the housing wall 101.
The groove or grooves are typically 1 mm to 20 mm long, 0.5 mm to 3 mm wide, and 0.5 mm to 3 mm deep. The tube or tubes are typically 1 mm to 20 mm long, 0.5 mm to 3 mm wide, and 0.5 mm to 3 mm in diameter. The number of optionally interconnected flow channels 99 formed by the grooves is typically between 1 and 10. Typically, the flow channel associated with the at least one groove remains open after the septum has fully extended into the drug chamber when the drug contained in the chamber is depleted or near depletion.
In a preferred embodiment, more than 60% (e.g., 75%, -85%, 86%, -95%, or more than 95%) of the fluid including the drug may be dispensed with a change in delivery rate of less than ± 20% (e.g., less than ± 15%, ± 10%, or ± 5%) over a period of greater than or equal to 4 hours (e.g., greater than or equal to 8, 16, or 24 hours).
In a related embodiment, the flexible and/or deformable membrane may be shaped and sized such that it is only in contact (or even no contact) with a limited portion of the interior wall surface of the drug chamber (excluding the surface area of the membrane itself) as the drug chamber approaches exhaustion. For example, the septum may be shaped and sized such that it contacts 0% -10%, 11% -20%, 21% -30%, 31% -40%, or 41% -50% of the interior surface area of the drug chamber (excluding the surface area of the septum itself) after 85%, 90%, or 95% of the starting drug product in the drug chamber is delivered. The interior surface of the drug chamber may comprise: such as the inner wall of the pump housing. In particular embodiments, the flexible and/or deformable membrane may be shaped and sized such that it does not contact the drug exit orifice of the drug chamber after delivery of 85%, 90%, or 95% of the starting drug product in the drug chamber.
Typically, neither the metal of the rigid housing nor the membrane corrodes significantly after 3 months when the housing metal and the membrane metal are electrically shorted and immersed in a substantially deoxygenated 0.1M citrate buffer solution at about pH 4 at about 23 ± 3 ℃. The deoxygenated solution may be a solution maintained under nitrogen. Typically, the metal of the rigid housing or membrane may corrode significantly after 3 months when the housing metal and the membrane metal are electrically shorted and immersed in an air-exposed 0.1M citrate buffer solution at about pH 4.0 at about 23 ± 3 ℃. The density of the current flowing between two approximately equal area electrically shorted electrodes (one of which is the metal of the rigid housing and the other of which is the metal of the diaphragm) may be less than 2 μ Α cm when the electrodes are immersed in a substantially deoxygenated 0.1M citrate buffer solution at about pH 4 for up to 24 hours at 23 ± 3 ℃-2E.g. less than 0.5 μ A cm-2E.g. less than 0.1. mu.A cm-2。
To achieve the desired delivery rate of the pharmaceutical composition without clogging the flow restrictor (e.g., nozzle), the apparent viscosity and particle size of the pharmaceutical composition, the vapor pressure, and the diameter and length of the flow restrictor are simultaneously controlled.

Pump design independent of ambient pressure and suction
The present invention includes an intraoral drug delivery device having a drug delivery rate that is substantially independent of increases or decreases in ambient pressure in the oral cavity and/or atmosphere, e.g., a device that does not deliver clinically significant undesirable pills when ambient pressure changes. A source of inaccuracy in many device designs (including many pumps pressurized by springs, propellants, or by compressed gases) may be that the drug delivery rate may vary under the following circumstances: (a) ambient air pressure changes, for example, at sea level (14.7 psia or 1 bar) versus at 7000 feet of altitude or in an aircraft (both about 11.3 psia or 0.78 bar), and (b) the patient sucks on the drug delivery device. The present invention includes a pressure-constant pump whose drug delivery rate may be substantially insensitive to changes in atmospheric pressure. The present invention also includes a suction inducing flow restrictor that substantially reduces or eliminates the delivery of a drug pill that occurs when a patient sucks on the drug delivery device.
In some embodiments, the spring or propellant compartment is hermetically sealed so that the compartment is not exposed to saliva, food, liquids, and potentially harmful conditions (e.g., acids, bases, alcohols, oils, and solvents in the mouth). In a preferred embodiment, the drug delivery device of the present invention comprises a spring or propellant pressurizing surface in a spring or propellant compartment that is in fluid (gas and/or liquid) contact with the ambient atmosphere via one or more ports or openings in the housing of the drug delivery device. A preferred design for a spring driven and propellant driven pump independent of ambient pressure is the following design: wherein both the drug outlet and the spring or propellant pressurizing surface (e.g., pressure plate or plunger) are exposed to ambient pressure, i.e., the pressurizing surface is not enclosed within a hermetically sealed chamber. In this design, the change in ambient pressure is the same as the change at the drug outlet and the pressurized surface, resulting in no change in the drug delivery rate.
In another embodiment, the system may be designed to keep the variation of the drug delivery rate within desired limits by using a sufficiently high pressure inside the device. For example, to vary the flow rate by less than about 10% over a range of pressures from about 1.013 bar to about 0.782 bar (sea level to about 7000 feet), the system may be calibrated such that it delivers the drug at its target rate at the midpoint of the pressure (i.e., about 0.898 bar). Then, in order to have a change of less than 10% in the drug delivery rate caused by a change of the ambient pressure of 0.116 bar, it is necessary to have the drug delivery device have an internal pressure of more than about 1.00+ (0.116/0.1) =2.16 bar. In this way, any desired accuracy can be achieved under specific ambient pressure variations. For example, to achieve accuracy of ± 20%, ± 15%, ± 10%, ± 5%, or ± 3% in the ambient pressure range of 1.013 bar to 0.782 bar, this requires propellant pressures of about 1.58, 1.77, 2.16, 3.31, and 4.85 bar, respectively. Preferred spring driven, gas driven, or propellant driven drug delivery devices of the present invention maintain an internal pressure of greater than or equal to about 1.5, 1.75, 2, 3, 4, or 5 bar.
If the patient sucks on the air outside the oral cavity or directly on the drug delivery device, a low pressure condition can be created within the oral cavity. Humans can draw up to about 0.14 bar of negative pressure in the mouth. Reducing the pressure may result in the delivery of a pill of medicament from the medicament reservoir into the oral cavity. In some embodiments, a member is provided for preventing premature emptying of the drug from the drug reservoir under suction conditions created within the oral cavity. One example of such a component is a fluid channel designed such that: when the drug is infused via the pressure head, the fluid channel may inflate and when the pressure in the oral cavity is low, the fluid channel may collapse, which causes it to kink and temporarily stop the delivery of the drug. In another embodiment, low ambient pressure in the oral cavity can cause the diaphragm to flex and block the drug flow channel, an example of which can be seen in fig. 15A and 15B. Fig. 15A shows drug delivery during normal operation. The drug from the drug reservoir 3 is pushed through the orifice 75 in the diaphragm 76 and into the chamber 77 before entering the nozzle conduit 78 and then out of the nozzle using the one-way valve 16. In fig. 15B, an external vacuum is applied to the environment occupied by the device. This will displace the diaphragm 76, thereby blocking the flow of the orifice 75 and stopping the flow through the nozzle 78. Another example of a means for solving the pill delivery problem of drugs due to low pressure in the oral cavity is the use of an inline vacuum relief valve, such as a float valve, which closes the fluid channel when a vacuum is created and releases the fluid channel once the vacuum is released.
In another embodiment, the drug delivery device comprises a compliant accumulator reservoir downstream of the drug reservoir. The accumulator includes a compliant material that collapses and plugs the outlet port of the drug reservoir when the ambient pressure is reduced below a particular level. Fig. 16A and 16B illustrate an operation mechanism of the accumulator. Fig. 16A shows the concept during normal operation. The drug from the drug reservoir 3 is pushed through the orifice 75 and into the pressure accumulator 79 before entering the nozzle tubing 8 and then exits the nozzle via the one-way valve 16. In fig. 16B, an external vacuum is applied to the environment occupied by the device. This will cause the accumulator 79 to collapse, blocking the flow of orifice 75 and stopping the flow through the nozzle 8. Another embodiment is a compliant member that collapses under external vacuum pressure. The compliance tube 80 is placed in line and in fluid communication with the drug reservoir 3 and the surrounding environment. Fig. 16C shows the device in normal operation. Fig. 16D shows the compliant tube 80 collapsing when external vacuum pressure is applied to the system, thereby collapsing the compliant tube 80 and blocking flow out of the one-way valve 16.
Fig. 17A, 17B and 17C illustrate an additional mechanism that prevents pill delivery in the mouth when the patient sucks on the drug delivery device and prevents changes in the rate of drug delivery when the ambient pressure changes. Fig. 17A shows the concept during normal operation. The drug from the drug reservoir 3 is pushed through the orifice tube 81 before entering the nozzle tube 8 and then exits the nozzle using the one-way valve 16. In fig. 17B, an external vacuum is applied to the environment occupied by the device. This will cause the float valve 82 to compress the spring 83 and move in a direction that blocks flow into the orifice tube 81 and stops flow through the check valve 16. In fig. 17C, an external positive pressure is applied to the environment occupied by the device. This will cause the float valve 82 to compress the spring 83 and move in a direction to block flow out of the ported tube 81.
In preferred embodiments of these designs for a drug delivery device that is substantially independent of ambient pressure, the drug delivery device is configured to: when the patient sucks on the device for a period of about one minute, or when the ambient pressure drops by about 2 psi during a period of about one minute, less than about 5%, 3%, or 1% of the content of the fresh drug reservoir is delivered.
Independent of the ringAmbient temperature pump design and method
While the flow rate of an electrically powered pump is generally substantially independent of ambient temperature, this is not the case for passive pumps such as elastomeric pumps, spring driven pumps, gas driven pumps, propellant driven pumps, or osmotic pumps. The present invention includes designs and pumps for achieving accurate drug delivery when the ambient temperature surrounding the drug delivery device increases or decreases, i.e., a device that does not deliver clinically significant undesirable pills when the ambient temperature changes. Osmotic pumps, drug delivery patches, and other diffusion-based drug delivery systems are particularly sensitive to changes in ambient temperature, and brief temperature excursions may permanently alter the drug transport properties of the diffusion control membrane or pores in these devices. In a preferred embodiment, the drug delivery device of the present invention does not substantially change its average long term drug delivery rate after exposure to a brief temperature excursion. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention includes one or more temperature-inducing flow restrictors that substantially reduce or eliminate the delivery of medication pills when the patient consumes a hot beverage.
Figure 18A shows a temperature-time graph in the lower buccal vestibule when sip a hot beverage. Figure 18B shows a temperature-time graph in the upper buccal vestibule when sip a hot beverage. Figure 19A shows a temperature-time graph in the lower buccal vestibule when sip drinks cold beverages. Figure 19B shows a temperature-time profile in the upper buccal vestibule when sip cold and hot beverages. All experiments were performed on a single male patient. A thermocouple was placed in the vestibular space to acquire a baseline intraoral temperature. The beverage is held in the oral cavity and swooshing above the position of the thermocouples for approximately three seconds. This data indicates that a brief temperature excursion typically occurs in the mouth when a hot or cold drink is consumed, where the excursion may exceed about 53 ℃ and be below about 24 ℃. The data also shows that the temperature excursion tends to be significantly reduced in the upper buccal vestibule compared to the lower buccal vestibule, where the maximum temperatures recorded in the upper buccal vestibule and in the lower buccal vestibule are about 45 ℃ to 53 ℃ and the minimum temperatures recorded are 29 ℃ to 24 ℃. Thus, in a preferred embodiment, the drug delivery device of the present invention is located in the upper buccal vestibule rather than the lower buccal vestibule.
In general, the problem is greater when the intra-oral temperature increases rather than decreases, as many non-motorized pumps provide undesirable medication pills that may be clinically significant. Many non-powered pumps provide a brief reduction in drug delivery when the temperature is reduced, which is generally not clinically significant.
In a preferred embodiment, the drug delivery device is configured to: pellets of less than 5% of the content of the fresh drug reservoir are delivered when submerged in the agitated physiological salt solution for five or one minute at about 55 ℃. In another preferred embodiment, the drug delivery device is configured to: after five or one minute immersion in the agitated physiological salt solution at about 55 ℃ it changed its average drug delivery rate during a period of one hour in physiological salt solution at pH 7 at 37 ℃ by less than about 5% compared to the average drug delivery rate just prior to exposure to the temperature excursion.
For elastomeric pumps, in order to minimize flow rate variations when a patient drinks hot beverages, it is preferred to use an elastomeric material whose force is relatively independent of temperature in the range of about 37 ℃ to about 55 ℃. For example, the force in the fresh reservoir may increase by less than about 30%, 20%, or 10% as the temperature increases from about 37 ℃ to about 55 ℃. Examples of elastomeric materials whose mechanical properties do not change much in these temperature ranges are natural rubbers, such as highly crosslinked polyisoprene, and synthetic elastomers such as neoprene.
For a spring driven pump, in order to minimize variations in the rate of dispensing of the drug when the patient drinks a hot beverage, it is preferable to use a spring material whose force is relatively independent of temperature in the range of 37 ℃ to 55 ℃. For example, the force in the fresh reservoir may increase by less than 30%, 20%, or 10% as the temperature increases from about 37 ℃ to about 55 ℃. Examples of materials that are safe for use in the intra-oral anatomy, having low sensitivity to temperature changes within this range, are: 300 series stainless steels (such as 301), titanium, inconel, and fully austenitic nitinol (above its austenite finish temperature).
For a gas driven pump, in order to minimize the variation in flow rate when a patient drinks a hot beverage, it is preferable to minimize the volume of gas relative to the volume of fluid comprising the drug. The volume of gas may be about 40%, 30%, 20%, or 10% less than the volume of fluid comprising the drug in the fresh reservoir. For example, the force in the fresh reservoir may increase by less than about 30%, 20%, or 10% as the temperature increases from 37 ℃ to 55 ℃.
For propellant driven pumps, it is preferred to use the following propellants: the vapor pressure of the propellant increases by less than about 80%, 60%, or 40% as the temperature increases from about 37 ℃ to about 55 ℃. For example, the vapor pressure of Dupont Dymel HFC-134a (1, 1,1, 2-tetrafluoroethane) increased from 938 kPa (absolute) at 37 ℃ to 1493 kPa (absolute) at 55 ℃ by 59%. The vapor pressure of Dupont Dymel HFC-227ea/P (1, 1,1, 2-tetrafluoroethane) increased from 700 kPa (abs.) at 37 ℃ to 1000 kPa (abs.) at 55 ℃ by 42%. To minimize the effect of temperature fluctuations on the propellant, various approaches may be employed. In one embodiment, an insulating material may be used to reduce sensitivity to changes in ambient temperature by insulating the propellant from the drug reservoir with a material of low thermal conductivity. Materials such as closed cell neoprene foam may be used in this embodiment. In another embodiment, a material with a very low thermal conductivity, such as ceramic, may be used.
Pump autostop/start safety feature
When the pump is removed from the oral cavity, it is preferable to temporarily stop the drug delivery. This is desirable so that no medicament is wasted and more importantly so that dispensed medicament does not accumulate on the surface of the device. This variable accumulation of medicament on the surface of the device can lead to undesirable delivery of a bolus of an unknown amount of medicament to the patient when the device is reinserted into the oral cavity. In a preferred embodiment, the drug delivery device comprises one or more automatic stop/start elements.
In one embodiment, the drug delivery device has an on/off switch or other mechanism for use by the patient. In a preferred embodiment, the drug delivery device automatically stops delivering the drug when: (1) when the drug delivery device, pump, and/or oral fluid impermeable reservoir are removed from the oral cavity; (2) when the drug delivery device, pump, and/or oral fluid impermeable reservoir is disconnected directly (e.g., when secured to the teeth) or indirectly (e.g., when secured to a fastener that is secured to the teeth) from its attachment to the interior surface of the oral cavity; or (3) when the oral fluid impermeable reservoir is disconnected from the pump or from the reusable component (e.g., fastener). In another preferred embodiment, the drug delivery device automatically starts delivering the drug when: (1) when the drug delivery device, pump, and/or oral fluid impermeable reservoir is inserted into the oral cavity; (2) when the drug delivery device, pump, and/or oral fluid impermeable reservoir are connected directly (e.g., when secured to the teeth) or indirectly (e.g., when secured to a fastener that is secured to the teeth) to its attachment to the interior surface of the oral cavity; or (3) when the oral fluid impermeable reservoir is connected to a pump or reusable component (e.g., a fastener).
In another embodiment, the flow of the medicament is initiated when the cap is removed from the orifice that delivers the medicament into the oral cavity, and the flow of the medicament is stopped when the cap is placed back into the orifice. In various embodiments, a clip may be placed over the drug-carrying fluid channel, causing a kink or blockage, thus stopping the flow of drug to the patient. Once the clip is removed, the flow of the drug to the patient is restored. In yet another embodiment, the flow of the drug is stopped due to the release of a pressure sensitive switch (which breaks the power line to the pump) stopping the flow of the drug when the device is removed from the oral cavity. Replacing the device back into the dentition closes the pressure sensitive switch, thereby restoring pump power and flow of the drug to the patient. In yet another embodiment, due to the change in the radius of curvature of the fluid channel, when the device is removed from the patient, the fluid channel kinks, thereby stopping the flow of the drug.
In another embodiment illustrated in fig. 7E and 7F, the protrusion 84 in the drug delivery device is attached to a spring loaded clutch mechanism 85 employed in the device, the spring loaded clutch mechanism 85 being engaged with the piston 39 so as to inhibit transmission of force to the drug reservoir 3 prior to use. When the drug delivery device is placed onto the tooth or teeth, the protrusion 84 is depressed, thereby releasing the piston 39 and allowing the piston 39 to transfer force to the drug reservoir 3. When the device is removed from the mouth, the protrusion 84 disengages, which causes the clutch mechanism 85 to be engaged again, thereby stopping the piston 39 from applying force to the drug reservoir 3.
In another embodiment, the actuator is connected to the sensor to detect when the device is placed in the mouth. For example, an optical sensor may send a signal to shut down the device so that a connected actuator stops flow from the pump. In another example, an actuator connection humidity sensor may signal a connected actuator to turn on a device, initiating flow from a pump.
Concentrated pharmaceutical formulations
Formulations of drugs (such as LD, CD prodrugs, DDC inhibitors, and other drugs) to be delivered via the drug delivery device of the present invention may include non-toxic aqueous or non-aqueous carrier liquids such as water, ethanol, glycerol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, ethyl lactate, and edible oils such as vegetable oils, lipids, monoglycerides, diglycerides, or triglycerides, paraffin oils, and mixtures thereof. The monoglyceride, diglyceride, or triglyceride can be any non-toxic carboxylic acid, which typically has an even number of carbon atoms. The formulation may also include esters of non-toxic polyols and carboxylic acids, such as carboxylic acids having an even number of carbon atoms. The esterified, partially esterified, or non-esterified nontoxic polyol can be: for example, erythritol, sorbitol, arabitol, lactitol, maltitol, mannitol, and xylitol. The liquid or infusion mixture thereof typically melts or softens sufficiently below about 37 deg.c for pumping.
The formulations of the invention are typically suspensions comprising one or more drugs, which may be predominantly solid particles, and a liquid, which may be an emulsion. The emulsion is typically an oil-in-water emulsion, but may also be a water-in-oil emulsion. Emulsions generally comprise: particles of one or more drugs; water; a non-toxic substantially water-insoluble organic compound that is liquid at 37 ℃, or a mixture of substantially water-insoluble organic compounds that are liquid at 37 ℃; and at least one surfactant. The weight fraction of the solid drug may be greater than the weight fraction of the substantially water-immiscible organic compound or mixture of organic compounds; the weight fraction of the substantially water-immiscible organic compound or mixture of organic compounds may be greater than the weight fraction of water; and the weight fraction of water may be greater than the weight fraction of the surfactant or surfactants. Typically, the weight fraction of the one or more predominant solid drugs in the suspension may be greater than 0.3, such as greater than 0.4, such as greater than 0.5, or such as greater than 0.6. The suspended solid drug may include LD and/or CD. The weight fraction of LD suspended may be greater than the weight fraction of CD suspended; for example, it may be at least twice the CD, such as at least three times the CD. The density of the suspension may be greater than 1.1 g/cm 3For example, it may be greater than 1.12 g/cm3、1.15 g/cm3、1.20 g/cm3Or 1.22 g/cm3. The water-immiscible organic compound or mixture of organic compounds may include: for example, triglycerides (exemplified by triglycerides of caproic and caprylic acids) or oils (such as canola oil).
In some embodiments, the infused fluid may comprise a micelle or liposome containing a drug.
Typically, the continuous phase of the emulsion is hydrophilic and it may be an oil-in-water emulsion, which may be preferred because it rapidly disperses in saliva and other fluids of the gastrointestinal tract (which are aqueous). It may also be hydrophobic and it may be a water-in-oil emulsion. Typically, the weight fraction of oil in the emulsion is greater than the weight fraction of water. The weight fraction of oil may be, for example, at least twice the weight fraction of water, e.g., the weight fraction of oil may be three times the weight fraction of water or more even when the continuous phase is water (i.e., the emulsion is an oil-in-water emulsion). The drug or drugs may be predominantly solid, with only some of the drug being dissolved in one of the carrier liquid emulsion phases, e.g. in the aqueous phase of the emulsion.
Suspensions including emulsions, especially oil-in-water emulsions, may be more physically and chemically stable than suspensions that are aqueous (i.e., in suspensions without oil). The superior stability to oxidation by dissolved oxygen can be attributed to the solubility of drugs (e.g., LD and CD) in oil being lower than in water and to the greater viscosity of the emulsion, thereby reducing the reaction rate of the dissolved molecules by diffusion reactions. Some liquids provide the benefit of particularly low drug solubility, which further provides the benefit of slow ostwald ripening when the drug particles are small. In ostwald ripening, solid particles increase over time by dissolution from the highly curved (and therefore energetic) particle surface and its redeposition on the surface of larger particles with lower curvature.
In a preferred embodiment, the intraorally administered formulation comprises a suspension at body temperature comprising solid drug particles at a concentration greater than or equal to 2M, such as greater than 3M, greater than 4M, or greater than 4.4M (e.g., 2M to 4.4M). For example, the concentration of the one or more drugs in the suspension of the invention may be from about 35% (w/w) to about 70% (w/w). The suspension can retain the non-deposited solid drug for up to about 1 month or more or about 1 year or more at about 25 ℃ and 1G. Accelerated testing of the physical stability of the suspension may be performed via centrifugation. For example, a physically stable suspension may be subjected to centrifugation at 25 ℃ under gravity of about 16000G (representing acceleration of 16000 times sea level) for up to at least 30, 60, or 90 minutes without sedimentation or formation of milk skin.
In addition to the ingredients described herein, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may further comprise: preservatives and antimicrobials such as benzoic acid, sodium benzoate, EDTA or a salt thereof, or other transition metal chelating agents or salts thereof, methylparaben, propylparaben, potassium sorbate, methylparaben, or propylparaben; and/or sweeteners (e.g., sodium saccharin), flavorings (e.g., citric acid, sodium citrate), and anti-foaming or anti-foaming agents (e.g., polydimethylsiloxane) and combinations thereof. It may also include poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone or polyethylene glycol.
Viscosity of the suspension
The suspension may have a shear (dynamic) viscosity of greater than 100 poise, or even greater than 1000 poise. For example, the suspension may have a viscosity of 100-1000 cP, 1000-10000 cP, 10000-100000 cP, 100000-500000 cP, 500000-2500000 cP, or greater than 2500000 cP. Typically, the suspension cannot be poured at about 25 ℃, although it can easily deform under pressure.
Aqueous phase
The suspensions of the invention are typically suspensions of solid drug particles (e.g., solid LD and/or CD particles) in an emulsion. The suspension can comprise less than or equal to about 16% (w/w) (e.g., less than or equal to about 13% (w/w), less than or equal to about 11% (w/w), or less than or equal to about 9% (w/w)) water. The suspensions of the invention may contain greater than or equal to about 1% (w/w) (e.g., greater than or equal to about 2% (w/w), or greater than or equal to about 3% (w/w)) water. For example, the suspension may comprise between about 6% (w/w) and about 9% (w/w) water, such as about 8% (w/w) water. While the percentage by weight of water is small, the water or aqueous phase may constitute the continuous phase of the emulsion, i.e., the emulsion (in which the solid drug particles are suspended) may be an oil-in-water emulsion with the oil droplets co-suspended in the continuous aqueous phase.
Immiscible with waterOf a hydrophobic or oil phase
The suspensions of the present invention include emulsions comprising a hydrophobic phase that is immiscible with water. The hydrophobic (i.e., immiscible with water) phase can be an oil. Exemplary oils include edible oils, such as vegetable oils; a monoglyceride, diglyceride, or triglyceride; and paraffin oil. The oil can be coconut oil, palm oil, olive oil, soybean oil, sesame oil, corn oil, Medium Chain Triglyceride (MCT) oil, canola oil, or mineral oil. In certain embodiments, the oil is Medium Chain Triglyceride (MCT) oil or canola oil. The oil may be coconut oil, or medium chain triglycerides, such as, Miglyol ® (e.g., Miglyol 812). The oil may be one or more of C6-C24(e.g., C)8-C16) Triglycerides of fatty acids. Alternatively, the oil may be C8-C12Fatty acid, C14-C18Fatty acid, or C20-C24Triglycerides of fatty acids, or mixtures thereof. The suspension can comprise less than or equal to about 30% (w/w) (e.g., less than or equal to 29% (w/w), less than or equal to about 27% (w/w), or less than or equal to about 25% (w/w)) oil. The suspension can comprise greater than or equal to about 19% (w/w) (e.g., greater than or equal to about 21% (w/w), or greater than or equal to about 23% (w/w)) oil. The suspension may comprise about 24% (w/w) oil. Although the weight percentage of oil may be greater than the weight percentage of water, the oil phase may not constitute the continuous phase of the emulsion, i.e., the emulsion may include a continuous aqueous phase in which solid drug particles and oil droplets are suspended.
Drug particles
The drug particles for use in the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention may be made by using any method known in the art for achieving the desired particle size distribution. Useful methods include: for example, milling techniques, homogenization techniques, supercritical fluid fracturing techniques, or precipitation techniques. An exemplary method is described in the following document: U.S. Pat. nos. 4,540,602, 5,145,684, 5,518,187, 5,718,388, 5,862,999, 5,665,331, 5,662,883, 5,560,932, 5,543,133, 5,534,270, and 5,510,118, 5,470,583, each of which is expressly incorporated herein by reference.
In one method, the drug, or a salt thereof, is milled to obtain micron or submicron particles. The grinding process may be a dry process, for example, a dry roller grinding process, or a wet process (i.e., wet grinding). The wet milling process is described in the following documents: U.S. Pat. nos. 4,540,602, 5,145,684, 6,976,647; and european patent publication No. EP498482 (the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference). Thus, the wet milling process can be practiced with a liquid dispersion medium and a dispersing or wetting agent (such as those described in these publications). Useful liquid dispersion media include safflower oil, ethanol, n-butanol, hexane, or ethylene glycol, and other liquids selected from known organic pharmaceutical excipients (see U.S. Pat. nos. 4,540,602 and 5,145,684), and may be present in an amount of about 2.0% to 70%, 3% to 50%, or 5% to 25% (by weight) based on the total weight of the drug in the formulation.
Drug particles can also be prepared by homogeneous nucleation and precipitation in the presence of wetting or dispersing agents using methods similar to those described in U.S. patent nos. 5,560,932 and 5,665,331, which are expressly incorporated herein by reference. The method may comprise the steps of: (1) dispersing the drug in a suitable liquid medium; (2) adding the mixture from step (1) to a mixture comprising at least one dispersant or wetting agent to dissolve the drug at the correct temperature; and (3) precipitating the formulation from step (2) using an appropriate anti-solvent. The process may then be carried out to remove any formed salt (if present) by dialysis or filtration of the dispersion and concentration in conventional manner. In one embodiment, the drug particles are present in substantially pure form and are dispersed in a suitable liquid dispersion medium. In this method, the drug particles are discrete phases within the resulting mixture. Useful dispersants, wetting agents, solvents, and anti-solvents can be determined experimentally.
Drug particles can also be prepared by high pressure homogenization (see, U.S. Pat. No. 5,510,118). In this method, drug particles are dispersed in a liquid dispersion medium and subjected to repeated homogenization to reduce the size of the drug particles to a desired D 50And distribution. The drug particles may be reduced in size in the presence of at least one or more dispersing or wetting agents. Alternatively, the drug particles may be contacted with one or more dispersing or wetting agents before or after attrition. Other materials (such as diluents) may be added to the drug/dispersant mixture before, during, or after the size reduction process. For example, the untreated drug may be added to a liquid medium in which it is substantially insoluble so as to form a pre-mix (i.e., about 0.1% -60% w/w drug, and about 20% -60% w/w dispersing or wetting agent). In particular embodiments, the dispersant is a surfactant (e.g., a non-toxic surfactant). The apparent viscosity of the premixed suspension is preferably less than about 1000 cP. The premix can then be transferred to a microfluidizer and continuously circulated first at low pressure and then at maximum capacity (i.e., 3000 to 30000 psi) until the desired particle size reduction is achieved. The resulting suspension of drug particles may be included in the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention.
The drug particles may be prepared using one or more wetting and/or dispersing agents (e.g., which are adsorbed on the surface of the drug particles). The drug particles may be contacted with the wetting agent and/or dispersing agent before, during, or after size reduction. Generally, wetting agents and/or dispersants fall into two categories: nonionic agents and ionic agents. The most common non-ionic agents are excipients that are included in known classes such as binders, fillers, surfactants, and wetting agents. Limited examples of nonionic surface stabilizers are: hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, povidone, polyvinyl alcohol, Pluronics (Pluronics), Tweens, and polyethylene glycol (PEG). Ionic agents are typically organic molecules bearing ionic bonds to charge the molecule in the formulation, such as long chain sulfonates (e.g., sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate) or fatty acid salts.
For example, the drug particles may comprise LD and/or CD, and may optionally further comprise a COMT inhibitor.
The drug particles present in the suspensions of the invention may be sized to have a D of less than or equal to 500 μm (e.g., less than or equal to 250 μm, 200 μm, 150 μm, 100 μm, 75 μm, or 50 μm)50. The drug particles present in the suspensions of the invention may be sized to have a D of greater than or equal to 1 μm (e.g., greater than or equal to 3 μm, 5 μm, 10 μm, or 25 μm)50. In some embodiments, the drug particles can be sized to have a D in the range of about 1 μm to about 500 μm (e.g., about 3 μm to about 250 μm, about 10 μm to about 250 μm, about 25 μm to about 200 μm, about 3 μm to about 100 μm, about 5 μm to about 50 μm, or about 7 μm to about 30 μm)50. In particular embodiments, the drug particles are sized to have a D50 in a range of about 1 μm to about 25 μm (e.g., 1 μm to about 10 μm). In certain embodiments, the drug (e.g., LD or CD) particles can be sized to have a D of less than or equal to about 75 μm50. In other embodiments, the drug (e.g., LD or CD) particles may be sized to have a D of less than or equal to about 20 μm, 50 μm, 100 μm, 150 μm, 200 μm, or 250 μm 90. In certain embodiments, the drug (e.g., LD or CD) particles may be sized to have a D of less than or equal to about 1 μm, 5 μm, or 25 μm10. In certain embodiments, the drug (e.g., LD or CD) particles can be sized to have a D of less than or equal to about 100 μm (such as less than 50 μm)95And/or D less than or equal to about 30 μm or about 45 μm80。
The maximum solid drug particle diameter may be distributed bimodal or multimodal.
When the pharmaceutical composition is infused and the flow controlled by a restricted conduit or orifice, the peak diameter of the largest particle of a unimodal, bimodal, or multimodal particle size distribution is typically less than 1/10 of its diameter in order to avoid clogging. Typically, less than about 3% of the particles distributed (e.g., less than 1% of the particles) have a diameter greater than 1/5 a diameter of the flow control member of the drug delivery device. For example, when the flow control nozzle, orifice, or conduit has a diameter of 1 mm, then less than 3% or 1% of the particles have a diameter greater than about 200 μm, 150 μm, 125 μm, 100 μm, 75 μm, or 50 μm. In general, the peak of the distribution of particles (or the peak of the distribution of the largest particles when the distribution is multimodal) may be 100 μm or less, for example, 50 μm or less, 30 μm or less, or 10 μm or less, or 3 μm or less. In a bimodal distribution, the peak of the smaller particles may be about 20 μm or less, 6 μm or less, 2 μm or less, or 0.6 μm or less, respectively. Typically, the infused suspension includes both LD and CD. The LD particles may be larger than the CD particles (or vice versa) and thus the particle size distribution may be bimodal. For example, the diameter of the LD particles may have a peak diameter in the distribution that is 1.5 times or even more larger than the peak diameter of the CD particles. The resulting bimodal distribution can provide a denser packing of solid particles in the emulsion, can increase the concentration of drug, reduce the size of the reservoir containing the daily dose, and reduce the likelihood that the flow of particles will impede polymerization.
Surface active agent
The suspensions of the present invention may contain a surfactant in an amount sufficient to provide physical stability suitable for continuous or frequent intermittent oral administration of the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention. The surfactant may be selected based on its hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) to match the surface characteristics of the drug particles and the continuous phase (e.g., aqueous continuous phase). The surfactant may be an ionic or neutral surfactant. In general, nonionic surfactants are preferred, and surfactants whose hydrophilic functional group includes polyethylene oxide are particularly preferred.
Non-limiting examples of ionic surfactants are Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS), phospholipids (e.g., lecithin), quaternary ammonium salts (e.g., cetrimide), pyridinium salts (e.g., cetylpyridinium chloride), and fatty acid salts. Non-limiting examples of nonionic surfactants are: poloxamers (also known under the trade names of Cremophor, Kolliphor, Lutrol, Pluronic, and Synperonic), poloxamine, polysorbate (also known under the trade name of Tween), fatty acid esters of sorbitan (also known under the trade name of Span), polyethylene glycol alkyl ethers (also known under the trade name of Brij), fatty acid esters of polyethylene glycol (also known under the trade names of Solutol and Myrj), alkyl polyglycosides (e.g., alkyl glycosides (also known under the trade names of Triton and rootric)), and fatty acid monoglycerides (e.g., glycerol monolaurate).
The suspension of the present invention may comprise a surfactant which is an emulsifier (e.g., a hydrophobic emulsifier (such as a surfactant having an HLB of 3 to 8) or a hydrophilic emulsifier (such as a surfactant having an HLB of 10 to 18)). In certain embodiments, the surfactant is a poloxamer or a polysorbate. The suspensions of the invention may contain less than or equal to about 7% (w/w) (e.g., less than or equal to about 6% (w/w), or less than or equal to about 5% (w/w)) surfactant. The suspensions of the invention may contain greater than or equal to about 2% (w/w) (e.g., greater than or equal to about 2% (w/w), or greater than or equal to about 4% (w/w)) surfactant. In a particular embodiment, the suspension of the present invention includes about 5% (w/w) surfactant.
The surfactant may be selected from a wide variety of soluble nonionic surfactants, including IGEPAL, a trade name commonly available on the market under the GAF corporationTMThe surfactant was purchased. IGEPALTMThe liquid nonionic surfactant is a polyethylene glycol p-isooctylphenyl ether compound, and is available in a variety of molecular weight designations, for example, IGEPALTM CA720、IGEPALTMCA630 and IGEPALTM. Other suitable nonionic surfactants include those available under the trade name TETRONIC from BASF Wyandotte CorporationTMThe surfactant obtained under 909. The material is a tetrafunctional block copolymer surfactant terminating in primary alcoholic hydroxyl groups. Suitable nonionic surfactants are also available under the trade name VISTA ALPHONIC from Vista Chemical CompanyTMObtained below and this material is ethyl oxide, a non-ionic biodegradable derived from a mixture of linear primary alcohols of various molecular weights. The surfactant may also be selected from poloxamers, such as polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene block copolymers, such as those available under the trade names Synperonic PE series (ICI), Pluronic series (BASF), supra, Monolan, PluracareTMAnd PluurodacTMThose copolymers obtained as follows; polysorbate surfactants such as Tween 20 (PEG-20 sorbitan monolaurate); nonionic detergents (e.g., nonylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol (NP-40), 4-octylphenol polyethoxylate (Triton-X100)TM) Brij nonionic surfactant); and ethylene glycols such as ethylene glycol and propylene glycol. In particular embodiments, the surfactant is a nonionic surfactant comprising a polyglycolized glyceride, a poloxamer, an alkyl saccharide, an ester saccharide, a polysorbate surfactant, or a mixture thereof.
The weight fraction of the one or more solid drugs in the suspension may be greater than about 0.6. The suspension may be non-pourable. For example, the suspension may be pumped or extruded into the oral cavity by gliding (also known as plug flow), or by a combination of flow and gliding. By slip or plug flow is meant that part of the suspension, or even all of the suspension, moves through a flow control conduit or orifice, e.g. as one unit or as a plurality of units, each unit being a plastically deformable block, such as a cylindrical block. This movement (i.e. the flow of the mass or masses) may be resisted by friction between the moving mass and the wall of the flow control conduit. The optional lubricant may reduce friction and facilitate extrusion as described below.

Levodopa formulations
LD is poorly soluble in most non-toxic solvents, including water and alcohols. For example, we have found that the solubility of LD in citrate buffered solutions at about pH 4.5 is only about 0.68 g/100 mL, or 34mM, at 25 ℃. The solubility of LD in alcohols is even lower. To deliver a typical daily dose of 1000 mg, approximately 150 mL of saturated aqueous LD solution may be required, which is incompatible with the volume requirements of a drug delivery device placed in the oral cavity.
DDC inhibitors such as CD are typically dosed with LD, and it is often desirable to infuse LD with CD together. CD is also poorly soluble in non-toxic solvents such as water, which further increases the required volume of solution to be delivered.
The invention features pharmaceutical compositions that include COMT (catechol oxygen methyltransferase) inhibitors. The exemplary COMT-inhibitor entacapone is poorly soluble in water, is dosed at larger daily doses (often greater than 1 g/day), and has a physiological half-life of less than 1 hour, which means that it is advantageous to dose it intraorally continuously or frequently with LD or LD-CD in the suspension of the invention. For example, they may be co-dosed at a rate between 25 mg/hour and 100 mg/hour.
The invention features a pharmaceutical suspension that includes a carrier and levodopa particles, optionally mixed with CD (e.g., an LD/CD molar ratio of about 2:1 to about 6:1, such as about 4: 1). Preferred suspensions contain LD and CD. One or more additional agents useful in the treatment of Parkinson's disease may be included in the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention, for example, DDC inhibitors, COMT inhibitors, agents for treating gastroparesis, MAO-B inhibitors, adenosine A2 receptor antagonists, or dopamine agonists.
The preferred dynamic viscosity of the suspension is typically greater than 100 cP (i.e. 1 poise) at about 25 ℃, for example, it may be greater than 10, 100, 1000, or even 10000 poise. Typically, more viscous suspensions (such as suspensions having a viscosity of 1000 poise or greater) are not pourable. Although it may not be poured, it may be squeezed out into the mouth. An advantage of a highly viscous, non-pourable, but extrudable emulsion is that it is physically stable, meaning that it does not sediment suspended solid drug when left for example for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or longer than 2 years. Furthermore, when the viscous suspension comprises an emulsion, the aqueous phase and the organic or oily phase thereof may not be separated. Another advantage of viscous suspensions is that the oxidation of their drugs by dissolved oxygen is greatly slowed, the rate of which can be diffusion-independent and thus viscosity-independent. Although solutions of LD or CD exposed to air may darken (even turn black) during the day due to air oxidation, the suspension remains off-white when exposed to air for up to one month. At this high viscosity, the rate of oxygen oxidation of the CD (thereby producing toxic hydrazine) is reduced, thereby greatly increasing shelf life (which may be longer than 3 months, such as longer than 6 months, or even longer than 1 year at typical ambient temperatures of 25 ℃ ± 3 ℃), where hydrazine may be less than 8 μ g per mg carbidopa (e.g., 7 μ g, 6 μ g, 5 μ g, 4 μ g, 3 μ g, 2 μ g, or 1 μ g).
In addition to suspensions of solid drugs, which illustratively include emulsions, various suspensions of solid drugs may also be made from thickening agents, such as carboxymethylcellulose. Concentrated sugar solutions (such as sucrose solutions) are also viscous. For example, the solid drug may be suspended in a sugar (such as sucrose, dextrose, glucose) solution containing 40-70% by weight sugar, e.g., 40-50% by weight sugar, 50-60% by weight sugar, or 60-70% by weight sugar. As previously discussed, LD and CD preparations may comprise multimodal particle size distributions.
Formulations (including those of emulsions including LD and/or CD suspensions) can have a pH between 2.5 and 9.5, more acidic solutions can damage the enamel of the teeth, and more basic solutions have a poor taste. A pH range between about 3 and 7.5 is preferred, and a range between 3 and 5 is most preferred, because air oxidation of LD and CD is slower, resulting in a lower rate of formation of toxic hydrazine in the case of CD and thus a longer shelf life when the shelf life is limited by hydrazine content, as it is in the Duodopa @, jejunal infusion.
A pharmaceutical composition comprising LD/CD may have an apparent pH (meaning a pH measured by inserting a glass-walled pH electrode into the composition) that is greater than pH 2 but less than pH 5 (e.g., less than pH 4, less than pH 3.5, between about pH 2.7 and about pH 3.3, or about pH 3), and which may remain less than pH 5 (e.g., less than pH 4, less than pH 3.5, or about pH 3) after storage for 3 months at 25 ± 3 ℃. The composition may include an antibacterial agent and/or an antifungal agent, such as benzoic acid or a benzoate salt. The combined concentration of benzoic acid and benzoate salt (such as a sodium salt thereof) is between 0.1% and 1.0% by weight of the pharmaceutical composition (such as between 0.2% and 0.6% by weight), and may optionally include more benzoic acid than benzoate salt (e.g., sodium benzoate). The composition may also include a transition metal ion complexing agent, such as EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) and/or a salt thereof, such as a sodium salt thereof. The concentration of EDTA and its hydrochloride salts (e.g., sodium salt) is between 0.05 and 0.25% by weight of the pharmaceutical composition. The pharmaceutical composition may comprise: compounds comprising sulfur, such as thiols that react with dopaquinone or with quinones formed by oxidation of carbidopa at 25 + -3 deg.C, are exemplified by cysteine or N-acetylcysteine.
Generally, the color of emulsion-based suspensions of LD and CD remains off-white for at least one week, e.g., 2 weeks or more, or 1 month or more, when exposed to air at ambient temperature (about 25 ℃).
The density of the suspension comprising the emulsion may be about 1.15 g/cm in the absence of entrapped air3And about 1.3 g/cm3Such as, for example, at about 1.20 g/cm3And 1.27 g/cm3In the meantime. Most of the stagnant air can be removed by centrifugation.
Method for preparing the concentrated formulation of the invention
The invention also features a process for preparing the pharmaceutical composition of the invention. The method may involve: the solid particles of the drug are contacted (e.g., mixed) with an aqueous solution comprising a surfactant and water, thereby producing a mixture of the solid particles and the aqueous surfactant solution, which is subsequently mixed with the oil. Pharmaceutical compositions that can be prepared according to this method are described herein.
Control of hydrazine formation
Stored CD is known to degrade, thereby producing hydrazine. In animal studies, hydrazine showed significant systemic toxicity, especially upon inhalation. Hydrazine is also hepatotoxic, has CNS toxicity (although not described after oral treatment), and is genotoxic as well as carcinogenic. Therefore, it is important to minimize hydrazine formation during storage of CD or LD/CD formulations.
Duodopa @ (LD/CD suspension for continuous intraduodenal infusion) produces hydrazine during storage. The recommended average daily dose of Duodopa is 100 mL, containing 2 g of levodopa and 0.5 g of CD. The recommended maximum daily dose is 200 mL. This includes average exposure of hydrazine up to 4 mg/day, with a maximum of 8 mg/day. To meet these exposure limits, the label of Duodopa (outside the united states) states that its refrigerated, unopened shelf life is only 15 weeks, and once removed from the refrigerator and opened, the product can only be used for up to 16 hours. In the united states, Duodopa (sold as Duopa in the united states) requires frozen storage and its label has a shelf life of 12 weeks of refrigeration (after thawing). The concentrations of LD and CD in Duodopa were 20 mg/mL and 5 mg/mL, respectively.
Stable fluid formulations of CD that do not contain high levels of hydrazine and that can be stored for extended periods without refrigeration are desirable. Hydrazine is almost entirely produced by the oxidation of CD in solution; as more of the solubilized CD degrades over time, more of the suspended CD is solubilized and degrades itself. In this way, a large amount of hydrazine can accumulate over time. Oxidation of suspended CD particles does not produce significant amounts of hydrazine. Thus, the amount of hydrazine produced is greatly reduced by simultaneously minimizing the amount of aqueous and non-aqueous liquids that can dissolve the hydrazine, and maximizing the concentration of suspended solid CD. This method maximizes the ratio of suspended solid CD to dissolved CD. The invention features an oral fluid-impermeable reservoir comprising a suspension of CD having a fluid volume of 0.20-5.0 mL, wherein the concentration of solid CD suspended in the fluid is 50-500 mg/mL. The invention features a CD suspension that includes less than about 4 mg, 1 mg, or 0.25 mg of hydrazine per 500 mg of CD after the suspension is stored at 5 ± 3 ℃ for 1 year, or at 25 ± 3 ℃ for 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, or 24 months. Preferred reservoirs are substantially oxygen free and substantially impermeable to oxygen. Preferably, LD is also present in the drug reservoir. Preferably, the drug is made from a carrier (e.g., an emulsion) in which the CD has very low solubility, such as an aqueous-oil emulsion. Due to the poor solubility of CD in the carriers used in the suspensions of the present invention, most CD is in the form of solid particles. This minimizes decomposition of CD and concomitant hydrazine formation, since hydrazine is formed primarily and exclusively from dissolved CD rather than solid particulate CD.
To further reduce hydrazine formation, a pharmaceutical composition comprising CD can have an apparent pH (meaning a pH measured by inserting a glass-walled pH electrode into the composition) that is greater than pH 2 but less than pH 5 (e.g., less than pH 4, less than pH 3.5, between about pH 2.7 and about pH 3.3, or about pH 3), and which can remain less than pH 5 (e.g., less than pH 4, less than pH 3.5, or about pH 3) after storage for 3 months at 25 ± 3 ℃. The composition may also include a transition metal ion complexing agent, such as EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) and/or a salt thereof, such as a sodium salt thereof. The concentration of EDTA and its hydrochloride salts (e.g., sodium salt) is between 0.05 and 0.25% by weight of the pharmaceutical composition. The pharmaceutical composition may comprise: compounds comprising sulfur, such as thiols that react with dopaquinone or with quinones formed by oxidation of carbidopa at 25 + -3 deg.C, are exemplified by cysteine or N-acetylcysteine.
Pump driven suspension separation
The inventors have observed that some suspensions with high solid drug concentrations maintain the homogeneity of their composition, i.e. may not show deposition when stored at about 25 ℃ for up to at least two days, whereas the suspension may become inhomogeneous when flow induced pressure is applied. The present invention includes compositions and methods for preventing pressure-induced separation of pumped viscous suspensions. When pumping viscous suspensions under pressure, separation of the solid from the liquid carrier is often observed. Typically, the pump will deliver a fluid containing a reduced amount of solids, and the solids will accumulate behind the orifice and not be delivered to the patient. In a preferred embodiment, the drug delivery device of the present invention comprises one or more suspension flow promoting elements that substantially prevent pressure induced separation of the pumped viscous suspension.
This phenomenon is observed, for example, during experiments delivering a suspension of LD and water with a viscosity of approximately 50000 cP. Drive pressure of about 41 inches H2O through a nozzle with an internal diameter of 0.603 mm. The suspension is separated and the turbidity drips off the end of the nozzle. With H2The pressure in O increases to 60 and then to 80 and the separation continues with the outflow becoming increasingly clear. This effect is reduced, but not eliminated, due to the reduced pressure by increasing the nozzle diameter.
This and other experiments indicate that pressure induced flow may cause the formation of a filter plug that passes more carrier fluid and passes less solid drug. This pressure or flow induced settling (i.e., filter pack formation) makes it difficult, if not impossible, to maintain a fixed dosage rate by controlling the flow. When the suspended particle size is distributed as bimodal or multimodal, the sedimentation leading to filtration may be mitigated. Suspensions having multimodal particle size distributions tend to have superior flow characteristics compared to particles having monomodal particle size distributions, thus reducing or eliminating separation or settling of solids from the fluid carrier that may occur when pumping the suspension. Filtering can be reduced or avoided by: the volume fraction (i.e., bulk density) of the suspended solid drug is increased to generally greater than about 0.64, for example, between 0.65 and 0.69, by bimodal or multimodal distribution of particle sizes. A two-dimensional example of the optimal trimodal particle size distribution is illustrated in fig. 20. The largest particles 86 are shown packed together with second smaller particles 87 and a further smaller third particle size 88. Particle 88 is about 1/5 the diameter of 87, and particle 87 is about 1/5 the diameter of particle 86.
The invention includes a suspension for infusion into the oral cavity comprising a bimodal or multimodal particle size distribution, optionally wherein the ratio of the average particle diameters of the peaks is in the range of 2:1 to 7:1, for example about 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, 6:1, or 7: 1. In a bimodal or multimodal distribution, the peak of the particle size may be, for example, between 0.5 μm and 100 μm, such as between 1 μm and 50 μm, or between 1 μm and 30 μm, or between 1 μm and 15 μm. Generally, the difference between the closest particle sizes at the maxima of the bimodal or multimodal distribution is two times or more, for example, between two and four times, or between four and six times. In an exemplary bimodal distribution, the weight-based amount of the larger particles may be equal to or greater than the weight-based amount of the smaller particles. Typically, large particles: the weight ratio of the small particles is generally greater than 1; for example, it may be between 1 and 2, such as between 1.2 and 1.8, such as about 1.5.
The present invention includes reducing or eliminating pump-driven suspension separation in an intraoral drug delivery device by using one or more of the following suspension flow promoting elements:
● utilize a multimodal particle size distribution that increases the volume fraction of solids to form the pumped suspension. As previously described, the invention includes a suspension for infusion into the oral cavity comprising a multimodal particle size distribution, preferably wherein the ratio of the volume weighted mean particle diameter at the peak is in the range of 1.5:1 to 7:1, such as between 3:1 to 7: 1.
● use a surfactant that will facilitate extrusion of the suspension including the particles through an orifice or tube, exemplified by surfactants used as food additives such as monoesters of glycerol and a fatty acid (e.g., glyceryl oleate or glyceryl monostearate), or polysorbates (e.g., polysorbate 80, 65, 60, or 20), or Kolliphor @ (e.g., Kolliphor RH 40), or poloxamers (e.g., poloxamer 188).
● use a coating (such as a fatty acid) that will modify the surface of the orifice or tube to facilitate extrusion of a particle-rich suspension through the orifice or tube, or coat the orifice with a perfluorinated polymer (exemplified by a Teflon ™) or lubricate it with a fluorinated hydrocarbon (such as Kryton @) or a fluorinated polyether (such as Fomblin @). Alternatively, the orifice or conduit may be made of a fluorinated polymer (such as a perfluorinated polymer).
● expand the orifice to facilitate the flow of particles through the orifice or duct.
● use at least the maximum particle size (i.e., D)90、D95Or D98) 5, 10, or preferably 20 times the inner diameter of the orifice.
● the formulation viscosity, concentration and flow rate, and orifice internal diameter are selected so that the pressure on the suspension is less than 10 bar, and preferably less than 5 bar.
The present invention features a combination of these designs and methods such that the concentration of drug in the suspension delivered by the drug delivery device varies less than 20%, 10%, 5%, and preferably 3% from the average concentration during each hour interval during the period of 8, 16, or 24 hours.
Oral fluid impermeable drug reservoir
Preferred drug reservoirs of the present invention are oral fluid impermeable reservoirs. For such an oral fluid impermeable drug reservoir, 1, 4, 8, 16, 24, 48, or 72 hours after placement of the drug delivery device comprising a fresh reservoir in the oral cavity of a patient and initiation of dispensing, less than 5%, 3%, or 1% by weight of the solid comprising the drug or the fluid comprising the drug in the reservoir comprises oral fluid (e.g., less than 1% after 1 hour, less than 1% after 24 hours, less than 3% after 8 hours, less than 5% after 4 hours, or less than 5% after 72 hours). The oral fluid-impermeable reservoir may contain one or more drugs in solid form or in fluid form. Oral fluid includes any fluid originating from the oral cavity, including saliva (or its water component) and other fluids commonly found in the oral cavity or commonly consumed by the patient (including diluent oils and alcohols). Exemplary oral fluid impermeable reservoirs may be made of metal, or plastic (which may be elastomeric or fiber reinforced). The metal reservoir may include: for example, aluminum, magnesium, titanium, iron, or alloys of these metals. When made of plastic, it may have a metal barrier layer; or non-metallic plastics or elastomers for packaging food or beverage bottles, or in fabrics for washable clothing (e.g., nylon or polyester), or in the barriers or seals of beverage bottles, or in the partitions of pharmaceutical vials containing pharmaceutical solutions. Entry of oral fluid into the opening in the reservoir may be prevented or minimized by the use of: one or more valves, squeegees, baffles, rotating augers, rotating drums, propellants, pneumatic pumps, diaphragm pumps, hydrophobic materials, and/or hydrophobic fluids. In some embodiments, multiple impermeable reservoirs or compartments contain multiple doses of a fluid or solid drug.
While extruding a high viscosity filler into the oral cavity generally reduces the likelihood of saliva ingress, other methods for substantially preventing ingress of saliva may be used. Saliva ingress may be caused by capillary climbing associated with the inner surface of the drug delivery tube or orifice being wetted by saliva. Capillary climbing occurs when the adhesion between the surface of the tube and the saliva is stronger than the cohesion (surface tension) of the saliva. One method for reducing or eliminating capillary climb is: cohesion is reduced by using an enlarged diameter tube between the drug reservoir and the outlet orifice. Another method for eliminating capillary climb is: the adhesion of the surface of the tube is reduced by using a hydrophobic coating on the inner surface of the tube. The purpose of the coating is to prevent wetting of the tube. By attenuating the surface energy released by the tube when wetted by saliva (e.g., by making the tube or coating it with a difficult-to-wet perfluorocarbon (e.g., a Teflon ™) or by lubricating it with a difficult-to-wet fluorinated hydrocarbon (e.g., a Kryton @) or a difficult-to-wet fluorinated polyether (e.g., a Fomblin @)), a contact angle of greater than 90 degrees between the saliva and the inner surface of the tube can be achieved and capillary climbing can be reduced or prevented. Another method for limiting saliva ingress is the use of a check valve 16 (illustrated in fig. 15A and 15B). When the flow stops or pauses, the pressure gradient across the check valve 16 is eliminated, closing the valve and preventing the flow of the drug and the ingress of saliva.
For ergonomic reasons, the drug reservoirs and/or devices of the present invention may include syringes, barrels, and plungers of cylindrical shapes that are not commonly used. An example of an alternative shape for a drug reservoir (e.g., syringe and plunger) is a beveled circular shape. Alternatively, a non-cylindrical (e.g., a beveled circle) housing may include two or more cylindrically shaped syringes, barrels, and/or plungers arranged side-by-side.
The drug reservoir used in the drug delivery device of the present invention may be a syringe assembly comprising a plunger and a barrel, wherein the plunger is in a slidable arrangement with the barrel. The dispensing of the drug from the drug reservoir may involve a relative slidable displacement of the cylinder and plunger by a drug pump (e.g. a mechanical pump, such as a spring driven drug pump or a propellant driven pump) so as to cause a reduction in the volume enclosed by the cylinder and plunger. The syringe assembly may include a seal fitted on the plunger that contacts the barrel to seal the interface between the barrel and the plunger. The seal may be an O-ring. To reduce variability in drug delivery due to friction or viscosity of the syringe, some or all of the interior surfaces of the syringe (e.g., the barrel, plunger, or seal) may include a non-stick coating, such as a fluorinated polymer (e.g., a Teflon ™ system) or a fluorinated polymer such as a Kryton ™ or Fomblin ™ system. The inner surface may be non-wettable by oil or water (e.g. by the preferred pharmaceutical composition of the invention, which is typically an emulsion comprising a suspension of solid particles).
In some embodiments, the drug delivery device may include a tapered flow path for the pharmaceutical composition as it approaches the flow restrictor, the outlet orifice, or the conduit. This taper may allow for more reproducible flow of the pharmaceutical composition. Fig. 22 illustrates the drug reservoir 4 in the shape of a syringe cylinder with a tapered flow path at the outlet orifice 75. The angle a of the taper may be equal to or less than about 60 degrees, 45 degrees, or 30 degrees.
In order to achieve reproducible and accurate drug delivery, it is preferred to have the components of the syringe made of the following materials: the material does not substantially deform (e.g., creep or yield) under the stress induced by the force applied to deliver the drug. It is also preferred that the components of the syringe have matching or similar thermal expansion characteristics so that the friction between the cylinder and the piston or seal remains approximately constant over temperature changes and so that there is minimal leakage of the drug suspension during storage. This may be achieved by: for example, by using a cylinder, plunger and/or seal having a glass transition temperature greater than 37 ℃, preferably greater than 45 ℃, more preferably greater than 60 ℃, and most preferably greater than 90 ℃; and by using injector parts made of the same material so as to have the same coefficient of thermal expansion. Examples of such materials are: polycarbonate, polystyrene, non-creep perfluoropolymers, polyamides such as Nylon 6-6, polymethyl methacrylate, and PET (polyethylene terephthalate). Materials such as polypropylene are less desirable because of their lower glass transition temperature and therefore are easily deformable at 37 ℃.
Alternatively, the moving surface as well as nearby stationary surfaces (e.g., the inner surface of the syringe barrel) may be rendered non-sticky by a lubricant. Since the lubricant may be in contact with the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention inside the drug delivery device of the present invention, the lubricant should exhibit low or no solubility in the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention. In some embodiments, the lubricant has an oil solubility of less than 3% (w/w) at about 25 ℃ (e.g., less than 2% (w/w) at about 25 ℃, less than 1% (w/w) at about 25 ℃, or less than 0.5% (w/w) at about 25 ℃). In other embodiments, the lubricant has a water solubility of less than 2% (w/w) at about 25 ℃ (e.g., less than 1% (w/w) at about 25 ℃, less than 0.5% (w/w) at about 25 ℃, or less than 0.2% (w/w) at about 25 ℃). The lubricant may be a halogenated polymeric oil (e.g., a halogenated polymeric oil having an average molecular mass equal to or greater than about 1000 daltons, or having an average molecular mass equal to or greater than about 2000 daltons). Certain lubricants may be perfluorinated polymers, chlorofluorinated polymers, or fluorinated polyethers.
In another embodiment, the lubricant comprises two organic fluid phases, such as two organic immiscible phases. These phases may be pourable or non-pourable. Examples are lubricants comprising both silicone oils or greases and fluorinated polyether oils or greases. Another example is a lubricant that includes both hydrocarbon oils or greases and fluorinated polyether oils or greases.
In another embodiment, the compartment containing the drive element (e.g., propellant or spring) may be separated from the compartment containing the drug suspension (e.g., LD and CD suspensions in a syringe barrel) by a charge of material. The filler replaces the solid plunger and provides reduced friction and more reproducible drug delivery. The filler may be deformable and/or removable, and may optionally be non-pourable. The pressure of the propellant causes the filling to move and/or deform and transmit the pressure to the suspension. The use of a non-pourable filler serves to keep the propellant and suspension separate by preventing penetration of the propellant gas into the medicament, thereby ensuring delivery of the suspension, rather than the gas, to the patient. Preferably, the rate of penetration of the ingredients of the drug suspension (and optionally also the rate of penetration of the propellant) into the filler is low. The permeation rate of water through the filler may be, for example, less than about 10 mg per day, e.g., less than 1 mg per day or less than 0.1 mg per day at about 25 ± 2 ℃. Similarly, the permeation rate of oil through the filler may be, for example, less than about 10 mg per day, e.g., less than 1 mg per day or less than 0.1 mg per day at about 25 ± 2 ℃. Further, the permeation rate of the propellant used to drive the filler may optionally be less than about 1 mg per day at about 25 ± 2 ℃, for example, less than about 1 mg per day, or less than about 0.1 mg per day, or less than about 0.01 mg per day. Exemplary filler materials in which water and/or oil and/or propellant are less soluble include perfluorinated or fluorinated or chlorofluorinated oils and greases. The oils and greases may comprise solid and preferably inorganic particles in order to reduce their permeability, such as particles of carbon, silica, alumina, titanium dioxide, or halogenated, in particular fluorinated, solid polymer particles (exemplified by polytetrafluoroethylene particles). For example, the carbon particles may be particles of graphite, such as graphite flakes. The solid particles can have a density of between about 1.5 g/mL and about 3 g/mL (e.g., between about 1.6 g/mL and about 2.5 g/mL, such as between about 1.6 g/mL and about 2.1 g/mL). The average size of these particles in the grease may be between about 0.5 μm and about 250 μm, for example, between about 1 μm and about 100 μm. Typically, the incorporated solid particles scatter and/or absorb visible light. Exemplary oils and greases may include fluorinated polyethers or polymeric fluorinated alkanes, such as perfluorinated hydrocarbons. Some fluorinated polyether oils and greases are sold under the trade name "Fomblin" and some fluorinated hydrocarbon oils and greases are sold under the trade name "Krytox" systems. The oil or grease may wet the walls of the compartment or may not be repelled by the walls, e.g. as indicated by a concave meniscus or no meniscus when the oil is in the optionally cylindrical compartment and by the absence of a convex meniscus when the oil is in the optionally cylindrical compartment. Optionally, the filler may include one or more solid scaffolds to provide greater structural integrity to the filler, to further reduce the rate of permeation of gas or drug through the filler, and to reduce leaching of the filler material into the drug or propellant. For example, the packing may comprise a metal or polymer mesh or cage, or a metal or polymer cover on one or both ends.
Methods of use and methods of treating diseases
The drug delivery device of the present invention may be used to intraorally administer a drug to a patient in a therapeutically effective amount. Similarly, the formulations of the present invention may be administered to a patient in a therapeutically effective amount. For example, an amount is administered that will prevent, delay, reduce, or eliminate the symptoms of: such as PD (parkinson's disease), mucositis, bacterial infections, cancer, pain, organ transplantation, sleep disorders, epilepsy and seizures, anxiety, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress disorders, cancer, cardiac arrhythmias, hypertension, heart failure, spasticity, diabetic nephropathy, and allergies. It may also be used to manage allergies, for example, by delivering agents for sublingual immunotherapy so that the delivered agent comes into contact with the mucosa or tissues of the oral cavity. By using the drug delivery device of the present invention, drugs suitable for treating a given disease to be treated can be made and administered using the methods, compositions, and devices described herein.
Many drugs with narrow therapeutic indices benefit from drug delivery devices and methods that result in a less fluctuating index. For example, table 2 summarizes the fluctuation index of extended release tablet formulations of antiepileptic drugs reported in various studies (published in 2013 from Ilo e. Leppik and Collin a. Hovinga EpilepsiaUpper 54 (1): the article "Extended-release enzymatic drugs: A complex of pharmacological parameters relative to original immunological formulations-release formulations" on pages 28-35.
Table 2 fluctuation index of extended release tablets of antiepileptic drugs.
The invention includes methods for treating a disease or medical condition using any of the devices, medicaments, formulations, and methods disclosed herein, wherein the fluctuation index is less than or equal to 2.0, 1.5, 1.0, 0.75, 0.50, 0.25, or 0.15. For example, diseases or medical conditions to be treated include: parkinson's disease, bacterial infections, cancer, pain, organ transplantation, sleep disorders, epilepsy and seizures, anxiety, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, cancer, arrhythmia, hypertension, heart failure, spasticity, dementia, diabetic nephropathy, gastroparesis, xerostomia, and dementia.
The doses of drug administered using the method of the present invention may be higher or lower than those administered using conventional infrequent dosing regimens. Lower daily doses are possible without loss of potency, in which case continuous or semi-continuous dosing reduces the trough circulating plasma concentration at steady state of the drug, thereby enabling the plasma concentration of the drug to remain above the minimum effective plasma concentration without requiring high peak concentrations. Higher daily doses are possible without increased side effects, in which case continuous or semi-continuous dosing reduces the peak circulating plasma concentration at steady state of the drug, thereby enabling the mean plasma concentration of the drug to be increased without the need for high peak concentrations.
The methods of the present invention provide a dosing regimen that has increased safety due to correlation with peak plasma concentrations (i.e., C in the form of an intraoral unit dose)maxCharacteristic) is eliminated. Thus, the methods, compositions, and devices of the present invention can be used to deliver drugs with a narrow therapeutic window in a population of patients being treated (i.e., patients refractory to standard treatment regimens). The details provided below for treating PD may be applicable to making and administering drugs for treating other diseases.
Treatment of PD
For the treatment of PD, typical dosing ranges from about 20 μmole/kg to about 200 μmole/kg per day of LD or LD prodrug. Typical daily dosages of an optionally co-dosed DDC inhibitor are between about 5 micromole/kg and about 50 micromole/kg. For example, for a patient weighing 75 kg, a typical daily dose is about 1.5 to about 15 millimoles of LD or LD prodrug. Alternatively, a molar amount of DDC inhibitor that is between about 10% and about 40% (e.g., between 15% and about 30%) of the molar amount of LD or LD prodrug may be added.
A preferred mode of administration of a solid or fluid comprising a drug is via a drug delivery device removably secured in the oral cavity and which administers the drug into the oral cavity or nasal cavity for a period of at least 4 hours. The drug may be dispensed at a variable rate, but constant rate dispensing is preferred. The dispensing is preferably continuous or semi-continuous.
The administration in the mouth may be 24 hours per day or it may be limited to a waking period (typically about 16 hours). When limited to the waking period, it may be advantageous to administer the pill in the morning to raise the plasma concentration of LD more rapidly than a constant rate administration. For example, a morning pill may be a pill or pills of an inhibitor of LD and DDC by oral administration, or it may be by administering a solid or fluid medicament into the oral cavity using the medicament device of the present invention. Alternatively, the exterior of the drug delivery device may include a drug such that a pill of the drug is delivered into the oral cavity when the device is first inserted into the oral cavity.
The invention includes methods of administering one or more drugs (e.g., LD and CD) into an oral cavity from one or more drug reservoirs located in the oral cavity, the one or more drug reservoirs comprising drugs having a total volume of 0.1-10 mL (e.g., 0.1-1.0 mL, 1.0-2.0 mL, 2.0-3.0 mL, 3.0-4.0 mL, 4.0-5.0 mL, 5.0-6.0 mL, 6.0-7.0 mL, 7.0-8.0 mL, 8.0-9.0 mL, or 9.0-10.0 mL). The present invention includes a method of dispensing one or more drugs (in solid form or in fluid form) at a rate within the following range: 0.03-1.25 mL/hour (e.g., 0.03-0.10 mL/hour, 0.10-0.20 mL/hour, 0.20-0.30 mL/hour, 0.30-0.40 mL/hour, 0.40-0.50 mL/hour, 0.50-0.60 mL/hour, 0.60-0.70 mL/hour, 0.70-0.80 mL/hour, 0.80-0.90 mL/hour, 0.90-1.0 mL/hour, 1.0-1.1 mL/hour, or 1.1-1.25 mL/hour). The invention includes a method of administering one or more drugs at an average rate of less than 1 mg per hour, 1-10 mg per hour, 10-25 mg per hour, 25-50 mg per hour, 50-75 mg per hour, 75-100 mg per hour, 100-125 mg per hour, or greater than 125 mg per hour. The present invention includes a method of administering one or more drugs via continuous and/or semi-continuous administration. In a preferred embodiment, the method comprises: the average dosing rate is kept constant or nearly constant during the day for periods of 4, 8, 12, 16, or 24 hours. For example, the hourly dispensed volume may vary during an infusion session according to the average hourly dispensing rate as follows: variation is less than + -10% or + -20% per hour, or variation is + -10% or + -20% per 15 minute period. The present invention includes a method for administering one or more drugs into the oral cavity using any of the drug delivery devices described herein.
Continuous or semi-continuous dosing using the drug delivery device and formulation of the present invention can reduce fluctuations in the concentration of the therapeutic drug in the bodily fluid (e.g., in blood, plasma, or serum). For example, it may provide the following plasma concentration profiles: wherein during the period of administering the drug, the difference between the peak concentration and the minimum concentration of the therapeutic drug is less than ± 70% of the mean concentration, e.g., it may be less than ± 50%, less than ± 30%, less than ± 20%, or less than ± 10% of the time-averaged concentration during the period greater than or equal to 4 hours (e.g., 8, 12, 16, or 24 hours).
The invention features a method for treating a disease in a patient, the method comprising: (a) inserting a drug delivery device into a patient's mouth; (b) initiating the dispensing of the medicament from the device; (c) administering one or more drugs into the oral cavity of the patient using a continuous or semi-continuous administration at an hourly rate in the range of 0.015-1.25 mL/hr or 1-125 mg/hr for a period of 4 hours to 7 days; and (d) removing the drug delivery device from the oral cavity; wherein the drug delivery device comprises an oral fluid impermeable reservoir having a volume of 0.1-5 mL (e.g., 0.1-1 mL, 0.5-3 mL, or 3-5 mL) and the reservoir comprises a solid or fluid comprising a drug. Optionally, the method may further comprise the optional steps of: (e) drug delivery from the device is stopped. The invention further comprises a method wherein steps a, b, c, d and e are performed at least twice during a period of 4 hours to 7 days. The medicament may include a total of greater than 1 millimole of LD.

In certain embodiments, the LD suspension is dispensed into the oral cavity at a rate that: this rate is such that a circulating plasma LD concentration greater than 800 ng/mL, 1200 ng/mL, 1600 ng/mL, or 2000 ng/mL (e.g., 800 to 1500, 1000 to 2000, 1600 to 2500, or 1500 to 3000, depending on the condition of the patient) is continuously maintained for a period of at least 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, 16 hours, or 24 hours during the dispensing period. In certain embodiments, the LD suspension is dispensed into the oral cavity at a rate as follows: this rate allows circulating plasma LD concentrations greater than 400 ng/mL, 800 ng/mL, 1200 ng/mL, 1600 ng/mL, or 2000 ng/mL to be achieved within 60 minutes of initiating the infusion. The LD suspension may be dispensed into the oral cavity at the following rate: this rate is such that a circulating plasma LD concentration of less than 7500 ng/mL, 5000 ng/mL, 3500 ng/mL, 3000 ng/mL, 2500 ng/mL, or 2000 ng/mL is continuously maintained during dosing for a period of at least 8 hours. In particular embodiments, the patient receives an average daily dose of less than 10 mL, 7.5 mL, 5 mL, 3 mL, or 2 mL of LD suspension. The LD suspension may be dispensed into the oral cavity at the following rate: this rate is such that circulating LD plasma concentrations vary from their mean by less than ± 20%, ± 15%, or ± 10% over a period of at least 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, or 4 hours.
The method may further comprise co-dosing an effective amount of a DDC formulation, such as benserazide, carbidopa, or a prodrug of carbidopa. Carbidopa can be co-dosed as a solid, suspension, or emulsion, or as a solution of one of its prodrug hydrochloride salts that are highly soluble in water (exemplified by carbidopa ethyl ester hydrochloride, carbidopa methyl ester hydrochloride, or carbidopa amide hydrochloride). The molar amount of DDC inhibitor co-dosed may be between 1/10 and 1/2 of the molar amount of LD, preferably about 1/4 ± 1/8 of the molar amount of LD. The preparation of carbidopa prodrugs (identified as LD decarboxylase inhibitors) is described in the following documents: for example, U.S. patent nos. 3,895,052 and 7,101,912, and patent publication nos. DE2062285A and FR2052983a 1. In a particular embodiment, the LD suspension includes greater than 0.5M LD (e.g., 0.5 ± 0.1, 0.6 ± 0.1, 0.7 ± 0.1, 0.8 ± 0.2, 1.0 ± 0.3, 1.5 ± 0.5, 2.0 ± 0.5, 0.6 ± 0.3, 0.75 ± 0.25, 1.0 ± 0.5, 1.5 ± 0.5, 2.0 ± 0.5, 2.5 ± 0.5, 3.0 ± 0.5, 3.5 ± 0.5, greater than 1.5, greater than 2, greater than 2.5, or greater than 3.5 moles per liter). In certain embodiments, the LD and DDC inhibitors are administered together separately, or are contained in a single solid or fluid and administered to a patient.
The method can alleviate motor or non-motor complications such as tremor, akinesia, bradykinesia, dyskinesia, dystonia, cognitive dysfunction, and sleep disorders in patients with parkinson's disease.
Mucosal delivery
In some embodiments (e.g., those in which the daily dose of the drug is less than 100 mg, e.g., less than 50 mg), a portion or a majority of the continuously pumped composition may be delivered to (i.e., absorbed by) the buccal or sublingual mucosa and optionally through the mucosa to the blood. It can reach through the venules and facial veins, then the jugular vein and heart, delivering a portion of the blood containing the drug to the brain, lungs, or other organs without passing the blood containing the drug through the liver or kidneys where the drug should be eliminated. Transport of drugs to and/or through the mucosa may be facilitated by additives and/or physical means as described in the following articles: for example, the article "Enhancing the commercial music Delivery of Peptide and Protein Therapeutics", published by T.Caon, L.jin, C.M.O. Sims, R.C. Norton, and/or J.A. Nicolazzo at Pharm Res (2015) 32: 1-21; and/or the article "multimedia polymers for bus Drug delivery", published by f. lafleur, in Drug Dev ind pharm, (2014) 40 (5), pages 591-8, which are incorporated herein by reference. Typically, the composition is pumped in an area from which more than about half of the drug is delivered to the mucosa in less than about 60 minutes (such as less than 30 minutes, 10 minutes, 5 minutes, or 2 minutes).
The present invention further comprises: the composition comprising the drug is delivered into a location in the oral cavity such that the drug has a residence time at or near the mucosa of the oral cavity of greater than 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes before being removed from contact with the mucosa of the oral cavity (e.g., by extensive saliva dilution after swallowing). Various techniques and device configurations may be used to achieve the desired residence time, optionally in combination with one another. In one embodiment, the composition comprising the drug is delivered into the lower salivary flow parts of the oral cavity, e.g. in the buccal pocket between the lower teeth/gingiva and the cheek, and preferably not close to the salivary glands. In related embodiments, the composition may be or include a mucoadhesive to hold the drug in proximity to the mucosa. In yet another related embodiment, the composition comprising the drug may be delivered into a material that holds the drug in proximity to the mucosa, such as an adsorbent.
The accuracy and reproducibility of dosing drugs into the buccal or sublingual mucosa can be facilitated by: the distal end of a (e.g. plastic) tube or metal tube delivering the composition is positioned close to the buccal or sublingual mucosa in an area partially bounded by a water vapour and gas permeable membrane which is not wetted by saliva, i.e. repels saliva. The saliva-repelling gas-permeable membrane may delay dilution or extraction of the pumped composition by saliva, thereby allowing it to approach the mucosa until its drug is taken up by the mucosa. The film may comprise fibers coated with a fluorinated polymer, or the fibers thereof may comprise (e.g., be made of) a fluorinated polymer. Gore and Union in the name of GORE-TEX ®Exemplary waterproof breathable fabric films are sold. GORE-TEX®. The membrane will repel liquid water and possibly saliva, but allows water vapor and other gases to pass through. Pumping the pharmaceutical composition into the area partially or completely encapsulated by the saliva-repelling membrane may increase the fraction of the drug absorbed buccally and sublingually, thereby reducing the flow of the composition or its drug from near the mucosa into a portion of the oral cavity where it is diluted by saliva and then swallowed. The saliva-repelling film may have a rim that adheres to buccal or sublingual tissue. For adhesion to buccal or sublingual tissue, the rim may have a mucoadhesive polymer coating as described in the following documents: for example, U.S. patent nos. 4,900,552, 5,723,143, 5,744,155, 5,900,247, 5,989,535, 5,989,535, 7,914,645, 8,735,374, 9,017,771, 9,044,475, 9,044,500, or 9,161,890, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
For buccal or sublingual delivery, optionally a flow-controlling metal or polymeric tube may be connected at one end to a reservoir and at the other end to a mucosal contact (e.g. buccal or sublingual mucosal contact) manifold having one or more openings through which the composition flows as a liquid or is extruded as a paste or gel. The pipe or tube may be, for example, 1-15 cm long, such as 5-10 cm long. Its inner diameter may be between about 5 μm and about 1 mm, such as between about 10 μm and about 0.5 mm. When metallic, the conduit may comprise: for example, titanium or one of its alloys, such as annealed titanium having a purity greater than about 98 weight percent; or stainless steel; when plastic, the conduit may comprise: for example, polyethylene terephthalate, polyamide or fluorinated polymers.

The following examples are intended to illustrate the invention. It is not intended to limit the invention in any way.
Example 1. preparation and extrusion of a suspension containing 157 mg/mL of CD (0.74M) and 629 mg/mL (3.19M) of LD solid particles, the suspension comprising only 464 mg/mL of a carrier fluid made of oil, water and surfactant, which is physically stable and also resistant to air oxidation for up to one month, is suitable for extrusion into the oral cavity.
The components: LD (D)50About 75 μm; d90About 200 μm); CD (D)95About 100 μm, D80About 45 μm); kolliphor RH 40 (from Sigma); miglyol 812 (Peter creator, cincinnati, ohio); deionized water.
0.8 g of Kolliphor RH 40 (also known as Cremophor RH 40) was dissolved by warming and stirring in 1.5 g of water. 2.4 g of CD and 9.6 g of LD were added and the mixture was homogenized and then allowed to mature for up to 10 hours with periodic mixing. 4.75 g of Miglyol 812, medium chain triglyceride, was added, the suspension was homogenized and allowed to mature for up to 3 hours with periodic stirring.
Most LD and most CD are particulate, i.e., most LD and CD are suspended rather than dissolved. Suspensions of solid drug particles are deformable, but cannot be poured at ambient temperatures of about 23 ± 2 ℃. The suspension is soft, compliant, easily mechanically deformed and it retains its shape when deformed. After one month of storage at 23 ± 2 ℃, there was no visible sign of deposition of solid drug particles, nor any visible sign of phase separation of oil and water, i.e. the suspension remained unchanged and appeared homogeneous after one month of storage. The suspension is off-white, will be nearly colorless, and it has little taste, i.e., it has no strong or unpleasant taste.
In the absence of entrapped air, the calculated approximate volume of the suspension was about 15.3 mL and the measured weight was 19.05 g. From these values, a density of about 1.25 g/mL was calculated, providing a suspension having a CD concentration of about 157 mg/mL and an LD concentration of about 629 mg/mL with all or most of the air removed.
Although not removed, any entrapped air may have been removed by: for example, by centrifugation, or by freezing to a temperature that results in a lower partial pressure of water (e.g., less than 10 ℃, e.g., about 0 ℃) and pulling a vacuum.
About 6.5 g of the soft suspension were loaded in 20 mL of crn CRONO injectors (sold by CANE S.p.A. of Rivolley, Italy) equipped with Lulsol. By striking the rubber pad violentlyTo displace the visible air bubbles of entrapped air which will cause it to rise to the orifice where it is expelled with some suspension by applying pressure to the plunger. The remaining volume was about 5 mL and the weight was about 6 g, with an apparent density of about 1.2 g/mL. The suspension was extruded as a plug through a 16 gauge nozzle 25 mm long, i.e. having an internal diameter of 1.29 mm and 1.31 mm 2The cross-sectional area of (a). The nozzle through which the suspension is extruded has a female luer for attachment to the male luer of a syringe. In plug flow (also known as slip flow), the deformable filler may be extruded through an orifice by sliding through the orifice, the slip flow occupying at least some of the flow. A syringe containing the suspension with attached nozzle was loaded in the CRONO PAR (livorly, italy) pump. The pump was set to deliver a volume of 0.1 mL/hour continuously.
The suspension in the syringe was extruded through the nozzle at about 23 ± 2 ℃. The extrudate is a long cylindrical fiber that retains its shape for more than 10 hours at ambient temperature after its extrusion. The extruded fibers were off-white, would be nearly colorless, and remained colorless when exposed to air at ambient temperature for more than one week, indicating that CD and LD are relatively slow to oxidize colored degradation products, i.e., the suspension is substantially stable under air oxidation for up to one week. This is in contrast to saturated aqueous solutions of LD and CD, which darken in 24 hours under air.
The change in extrudate weight as a function of extrusion time is shown in table 3. When the extrusion is finished, the pump signals that the syringe is empty, i.e. that about all the suspension is extruded. The pump does not signal an occlusion at any time.
TABLE 3 extrudate weight as a function of extrusion time
Extrusion time (hours) | Extrusion weight (g) |
0 | 0 |
8.92 | 0.93 |
20.07 | 2.19 |
30.08 | 3.31 |
36.95 | 4.11 |
43.45 | 4.87 |
45.4 | 5.07 |
The slope of the data (which may be equal to the extrudate density in the case of a pump extruding at a set rate of 0.1 mL/hour) is plotted at about 1.12 g/mL for an extrusion period of up to about 45 hours duration. The observed density was less than the above estimated density of about 1.2 g/mL, indicating that the actual pumping rate of the Crono Par pump was only about 0.093 mL/hr when set at 0.1 mL/hr and/or that water evaporated from the extrudate exposed to ambient air.
The constant density indicates that the concentration of extrudate remains constant during extrusion over a period of 45 hours, although the LD and CD solid particles have an estimated density of about 1.5 g/mL, which is much higher than the density of 0.97 g/mL of the carrier fluid.
Example 2. the advantages of adding oil to the carrier fluid and the suspension being physically unstable in the absence of oil are shown.
The components: LD, CD, Kolliphor RH 40, and deionized water, all as in example 1.
Dissolving 0.8 g of Kolliphor RH 40 by warming in 6.5 g of water at about 60 ℃; the calculated volume of the solution was about 7.26 mL; 2.4 g of CD and 9.6 g of LD (estimated combined volume of these two drugs is 8 mL) were added and the mixture was homogenized. As in example 1, most of the LD and most of the CD were microparticles, not dissolved. The respective concentrations of CD and LD in the resulting suspension were 157 mg/mL and 629 mg/mL, similar to those in example 1.
Unlike the suspension in example 1, the suspension in example 1 was not pourable at about 23 ± 2 ℃, the suspension without oil was pourable; it can be poured and, unlike the suspension of example 1, homogenization is achieved by shaking. After about one hour, an almost clear particle-free liquid layer was observed at the top of the suspension, unlike the oil-containing suspension of example 1, in which no deposition or any other signs of non-homogeneity were observed after one month of storage at about 23 ± 2 ℃. The clear layer became viscous after 3 hours.
Unlike physically stable suspensions containing oil, the use of suspensions made without oil may require frequent resuspension (e.g., by shaking).
Example 3. preparation and extrusion of a physically stable suspension containing 156 mg/mL (0.74M) CD and 624 mg/mL (3.16M) LD, which comprises only 460 mg/mL of a carrier emulsion made from food grade oil, suitable for infusion in the oral cavity.
The components: all as an example except that instead of Miglyol 812, canola oil (Safeway Kichens, classified by Safeway corporation of pleisenton, california) was used.
Most LD and most CD are particulate, i.e. not dissolved. The composition was similar to that of example 1 except that 4.75 g of Miglyol 812 (density about 0.95 g/mL) was replaced with 4.7 g of canola oil (density about 0.92 g/mL).
To prepare the suspension, 0.8 g of Kolliphor RH 40 was dissolved by warming and stirring in 1.5 g of water. 2.4 g of CD and 9.6 g of LD were added and the mixture was homogenized and then allowed to mature for up to 4 hours with periodic mixing. 4.7 g of canola oil was added, the suspension re-homogenized by mixing and allowed to mature for up to 3 hours with periodic mixing. The resulting suspension is plastically deformable, maintaining its shape when deformed. Although it is not pourable at ambient temperatures of about 23 ± 2 ℃, it is soft, compliant and readily mechanically deformable and, as seen below, is readily extruded as a fill through the nozzles described below. After one month, there was no visible sign of deposition of solid drug particles, nor any visible sign of phase separation of oil and water. After one month of storage at about 23 ± 2 ℃, the suspension remains unchanged (i.e. homogeneous). The suspension remained off-white, indicating that its rate of air oxidation was much slower than that of dissolved LD or CD. The suspension is almost tasteless, i.e. it has no strong or unpleasant taste.
Without entrapped air and assuming densities of LD and CD of about 1.5 g/mL, the estimated density of the suspension was about 1.24 g/mL and the corresponding CD and LD concentrations were 156 mg/mL and 624 mg/mL. Stagnant air should be able to be removed by: for example, by centrifugation, or by freezing to a temperature that results in a lower partial pressure of water (e.g., less than 10 ℃, e.g., about 0 ℃) and pulling a vacuum.
About 5 g of the soft suspension was loaded into 20 mL of crn CRONO syringes having male luer. The bubbles are visible; some of the larger bubbles can be moved to the orifice and expelled with some suspension by moving the piston back and forth while the syringe is capped, and by hard tapping, then applying pressure to the plunger to expel the layer containing the visible bubbles. The remaining volume was about 4.5 mL.
Loading the syringeIn the CRONON PAR pump, it was set to deliver a volume of 0.1 mL/hour continuously and extruded through a 16 gauge 25 mm length (1.29 mm diameter, about 1.31 mm diameter)2Cross-sectional area of (a) of (b) equipped with a female luer for attachment to a syringe. The extrudate is a long cylindrical fiber that retains its shape for more than 10 hours after its extrusion at an ambient temperature of about 23 ± 2 ℃. The color of the extruded fiber was off-white and remained off-white when exposed to air for more than one week at ambient temperature, indicating that CD and LD oxidize the colored product more slowly.
The weight of the extrusion suspension as a function of extrusion time is shown in table 4. When the extrusion is finished, the pump signals that the syringe is empty, i.e. that about all the suspension is extruded. The pump does not signal an occlusion at any time.
Table 4 extrusion weight as a function of extrusion time
Extrusion time (hours) | Extrusion weight (g) |
0 | 0 |
4.3 | 0.48 |
14 | 1.54 |
19.28 | 2.09 |
26 | 2.8 |
37.61 | 3.98 |
42.23 | 4.46 |
When plotted in the figure, the slope (which equates to the extrudate density assuming the pump extrudes at 0.1 mL/hour) was about 1.06 g/mL. However, as estimated in example 1, a pump set to 0.1 mL/hr may only extrude at 0.093 mL/hr. In this case, the extrudate density would be about 1.14 g/mL, an estimated density of less than 1.24 g/mL, indicating entrapped air and/or water evaporation during extrusion. The slope was approximately constant for an extrusion period of up to about 42 hours, indicating that the concentration of dense Components (CD) and LD of the suspension was approximately constant.
Example 4. to achieve physical stability, both oil and water are required in order to prevent sedimentation and caking when 837 mg/mL (4.25M) LD suspension is extruded.
The components: LD (screening particles, passing through 125 μm openings, not 32 μm openings); canola oil (as in example 3); polysorbate 60 (as in example 1); deionized water.
(a) An example is shown where water is required in the carrier emulsion for suspending the LD particles.
An approximately 837 mg/mL LD suspension in oil was prepared as follows: 1.95 g of polysorbate 60 was dissolved in 20 g of canola oil. The resulting solution was clear. Homogenizing 5 g of the solution with 10 g of LD in order to form a soft and viscous suspension which remains unchanged after standing for 3 days at 23. + -. 2 ℃; there is no deposition of dense drug particles, nor is the oil separated from the water; the suspension remained homogeneous. Most LD is particulate, i.e. it is not dissolved.
A portion of the suspension was loaded into 20 mL of crn CRONO syringe cylinders and then pushed through an outlet of > 2 mm diameter with no flow restricting nozzle or tube attached to the outlet by manually applying pressure on the piston. Unlike the extruded suspensions of examples 1 and 3, or the same extruded suspensions containing water and oil of this example described below, the delivered suspension did not retain its shape. Furthermore, the concentration of strongly light-scattering solid particles changes significantly. The delivered suspension changes from a solids-rich, strongly light-scattering suspension to a less light-scattering suspension containing more oil; the almost clear oil is then delivered only with the less light scattering solid drug particles. After pushing a portion of the suspension through the opening, it becomes more difficult to push more suspension through the opening. After about half of the suspension is delivered, it becomes impossible to manually push through any remaining suspension. When the syringe is disassembled (i.e. when its plunger is pulled out), a dense and hard solid rich cake is found near the outlet of the syringe. The cake filters (i.e., retains) the solid drug particles, but passes oil with few particles.
This experiment shows that at an LD concentration of about 837 mg/mL, a suspension of solid drug particles of about 32-125 μm size in an oil (not containing water) including a surfactant will change its composition during delivery and it will be difficult or impossible to deliver the entire suspension volume in the reservoir through an orifice of about 2 mm diameter.
(b) An example is shown where water is required in the carrier emulsion for suspending the LD particles.
Dispersing 1.22 g of polysorbate 60 in 12.2 g of water; polysorbate 60 was dispersed, but not dissolved. For 5 g of the dispersion, 10 g of LD was added. The resulting suspension is fluid, i.e. it can be poured. After about 30 minutes, deposition of drug particles was observed; the suspension was re-homogenized by shaking.
(c) Show a bagExamples of improved physical stability of LD suspensions containing both oil and water
The 10 g suspension of part (a) above was mixed with the 10 g suspension of part (b) above to form 837 mg/ml LD suspension containing both oil and water. At about 23 ± 2 ℃, the suspension is not pourable. However, it is plastically deformable and retains its shape when deformed. When force is applied, it is extruded through the nozzle as a filler. Unlike in the suspension of part (b) of this example, which does not contain oil and in which deposits are observed after 30 minutes, after one month there is no significant deposition nor any significant sign of phase separation of oil and water; after one month of storage at about 23 ± 2 ℃, the suspension remains unchanged, i.e. homogeneous.
Then the suspension was loaded into 20 mL of crn CRONO injectors. Unlike the suspension of part (a), it is easy to push the suspension through a 2 mm syringe outlet by manually applying pressure on the piston. Also unlike the suspension of part (a), the suspension coming out of the opening will retain its shape and will not change significantly during delivery; furthermore, no lumps will form which block the delivery, i.e. all the suspension in the syringe is delivered.
Next, 4.2 g of the suspension were reloaded in crn CRONO injectors of 17 gauge nozzle 1/2 inches long attached to the injectors. The syringe was then inserted into the Crono Par pump. The pump was set to deliver continuously at a rate of 0.12 mL/hour and the suspension was extruded for up to about 18 hours, after which the pump was blocked.
This example demonstrates that when the suspension includes oil, water, and a surfactant, the compositional change of an LD suspension of about 837 mg/mL (i.e., about 4.2M) can be reduced.
Example 5 shows a continuous extrusion of 777 mg/mL (3.9M) of LD suspension over a period of 87 hours made with 32 μ M to 125 μ M LD particles.
The components: polysorbate 60 (Fluka under Sigma Aldrich catalog # 95754-F); LD particles (passing through a 125 μm sieve and not 32 μm sieve); canola oil (Safeway Kichens, classified by Safeway corporation of pleisenton, california); deionized water.
2.56 g of polysorbate 60 were dissolved in 12.34 g of canola oil. The solution was allowed to stand for 24 hours before use; it is almost colorless and transparent. 9.33 g of the solution was mixed with 20 g of LD, 2.5 mL of water was added, and the mixture was stirred until homogeneous. The weight of the resulting suspension was 31.8 g. It comprises 1.6 g of polysorbate 60; 7.73 g of canola oil; 2.5 g of water and 20 g of LD. The calculated volume and measured weight provide an estimated density of about 1.24 g/mL and an LD concentration of 777 mg/mL. Most LD is particulate, i.e. it is not dissolved.
The suspension was allowed to mature for up to about 65 hours. It is plastically deformable, retains its shape when deformed, and is non-pourable at ambient temperatures of about 23 ± 2 ℃. It is soft, compliant, easily mechanically deformed, and easily extruded through a 16 gauge 25 mm long nozzle. When force is applied, it is extruded through the nozzle as a filler. Agitation releases the largest trapped bubbles, but still retains the smaller bubbles.
Approximately 10 mL of the suspension weighing about 11.6 g was transferred to 20 mL of crn CRONO injectors. Removing a portion of the remaining bubbles by: the vertical reservoir was shaken vigorously and the uppermost layer of the bubble-rich suspension was squeezed out together with some suspension, leaving about 8.7 g of suspension in the syringe. The residual stagnant air is not removed, but it can be removed by: for example, by centrifugation, or by freezing to a temperature that results in a lower partial pressure of water (e.g., less than 10 ℃, e.g., about 0 ℃) and pulling a vacuum.
A 25 mm long 16 gauge stainless steel nozzle with a female luer was attached to the syringe and extrusion was started with the Crono Par pump set to deliver at 0.1 mL/hour. All the suspension in the syringe was squeezed out, i.e. the pump was not clogged. Table 5 below provides the dependence of the weight of the extrudate on the duration of extrusion.

When plotted in the figure, the slope (which is also the density of the extrudate at ambient extrusion temperature) is approximately constant at about 1.07 g/mL. As seen from example 1, when the pump was set to a delivery rate of 0.1 mL/hr, the actual delivery rate was only 0.093 mL/hr, which resulted in an actual delivery density of about 1.15 g/mL. The density is constant over a range of less than about + -3% (obviously less than about 2%). The calculated density of less than 1.24 g/mL is due to air entrapment and/or evaporation of water from the extrudate.
During 11 days, there was no significant sedimentation or phase separation; nor did lumps form or become significantly inhomogeneous during about 87 hours of extrusion through a 16 gauge 25 mm long nozzle at a nominal delivery rate of 0.1 mL/hour. The initial off-white air-exposed suspension turned to a light gray color, indicating the presence of very slow air oxidation of the LD.
EXAMPLE 6.790 mg/mL of a small particle size LD suspension was prepared and extruded.
The components: polysorbate 60 (Fluka under Sigma Aldrich catalog # 95754-F); LD (Ajinomoto jet milled to a particle size of < 10 μm, most of the masses having a diameter of 1-5 μm (see scanning electron micrograph below)); canola oil (Safeway Kichens, classified by Safeway corporation of pleisenton, california); deionized water.
Jet milling 100 g of Ajinomoto LD was used with a Glen Mills jet mill set to a 105 psi feed line, a 100 psi grind line, an 80 psi feed push line, and a feed rate of about 7 g per 20 minutes. Yield: 86 g. 1.16 g of polysorbate 60 was dissolved in 7.7 g of canola oil. Fig. 21A and 21B are micrographs depicting LD particles formed by jet milling.
20 g of jet-milled LD was added and the mixture was stirred until it was homogeneous, then 2.5 g of water was added and the mixture was stirred again until it was homogeneous. The resulting suspension is more viscous than the dough from which the bread is made and its manual mixing is difficult. Most LD is particulate, i.e. it is not dissolved. Assuming an LD density of 1.5 g/mL, its mass of 31.4 g without entrapped air calculated a volume of 25.31 mL. Stagnant air is not removed, but it can be removed by: for example, by centrifugation, or by freezing to a temperature that results in a lower partial pressure of water (e.g., less than 10 ℃, e.g., about 0 ℃) and pulling a vacuum. The calculated LD concentration without entrapped air was 790 mg/mL (4M) and the estimated density was 1.24 g/mL.
The suspension is extremely viscous, much more viscous than honey at ambient temperature. It is not pourable at ambient temperatures of about 23 ± 2 ℃, but is soft, compliant, easily mechanically deformable, and easily extruded through a 28 cm long tube of 2.4 mm internal diameter. When force is applied, it can be plastically deformed and extruded through the tube as a filler.
The Crono Par pump was set to deliver continuously at a delivery rate of 1 mL/hour, and a 28 cm long plastic tube of 2.4 mm inner diameter was attached to the luer of its syringe and filled with suspension. The suspension was then extruded through the tube for up to about 20 hours, at the end of which time the syringe was emptied. The weight of the extrudate was 27.9 g. The extrudate retains its cylindrical shape, i.e., it is a string of about 2.4 mm diameter.
Example 7. shows that a 570 mg/mL (2.89M) suspension of small particle size LD in canola oil without surfactant and without water can become heterogeneous upon extrusion.
The components: spray milled LD as in example 6; canola oil (Safeway Kichens, classified by Safeway corporation of pleisenton, california).
About 3.7 g of jet milled LD (see example 6) were homogenized by mixing in 20 mL of crn CRONO injectors with about 3.72 g of canola oil. A suspension was formed that was easily stirred and just barely pourable. Most LD is particulate, i.e. it is not dissolved. Assuming a LD density of about 1.5 g/mL, the estimated volume of the suspension is about 6.5 mL, the calculated LD concentration is about 570 mg/mL, and the calculated density is about 1.15 g/mL. With a 2.4 mm inner diameter, 28 cm long plastic tube coupled to the luer of the syringe, and the suspension was pumped at a rate of 1 mL/hour using a Crono PAR pump. Filtration was observed after 1 hour, which resulted in the extrusion of oil with less LD particles. After 2 hours, mostly clear oil flows and the pump is blocked. When the syringe was disassembled, hard solid particle agglomeration was found. The cake (which consists primarily of LD and a small amount of oil) weighed 5 g (i.e., about 2 g of oil and only about 0.4 g of LD was delivered). The estimated amount of LD in the agglomerates was about 3.3 g. This experiment shows that in the absence of water and surfactant, lumps can form, there is filtration and clogging during delivery.
Example 8 shows that addition of surfactant to a suspension of small particle size LD in oil at 600 mg/mL (3M) delays but does not prevent caking, filtration, and clogging upon delivery.
The components: polysorbate 60, LD (jet milled LD as in example 6), canola oil.
0.25 g of polysorbate 60 was dissolved in about 2.9 g of canola oil, and then 3.3 g of LD was added. The mixture was homogenized by mixing in 20 mL of crn ® CRONO @ cylinders of injectors. The volume of the resulting suspension was about 5.5 mL and the LD concentration was about 600 mg/mL. The suspension is easy to stir and is viscous. LD is mainly particulate, i.e. not dissolved.
With a 2.4 mm inner diameter, 28 cm long plastic tube coupled to the luer of its syringe containing the suspension, the suspension was pumped using a Crono PAR pump at a flow rate of 3 mL/hr for up to about 30 minutes, then at a flow rate of 1 mL/hr for up to 3 hours. The delivered suspension is heterogeneous, in which clear oil is pumped periodically. The pump would signal an occlusion, but only after about 4 mL has been delivered, i.e., when about 1 mL remains. Comparison with the delivery of the suspension of example 7 would indicate that the addition of polysorbate 60 is advantageous. Without the addition of water, lump formation, filtration and clogging during delivery are delayed but not prevented.
Example 9. shows that a 541 mg/mL (2.75M) suspension of LD particles in a surfactant comprising oil is physically unstable; it is also shown that adding a small amount of water to the unstable suspension results in 477 mg/mL (2.4M) of a physically stable non-sedimenting and extrudable suspension; it is also shown that stagnant air may be removed from the suspension by centrifugation; and furthermore shows that the continuous phase in the carrier fluid of the stable suspension is an aqueous phase, even though it contains more oil than water.
The components: LD (95 wt% of the particles pass through 250 μm sieve openings and about 30 wt% pass through 125 μm sieve openings); canola oil; polysorbate 60; deionized water.
Most LD is particulate, i.e. not dissolved.
(a) 1.2 g of polysorbate 60 was dissolved in 12 g of canola oil. 12 g of LD was added and the mixture was ground in a mortar until it was homogenized. The resulting suspension at an LD concentration of about 541 mg/mL (2.75M) was transferred into a glass vial. After 4 hours, a clear oil layer was observed on top of the suspension; after 12 hours, the thickness of the clear oil layer increased three times, indicating the presence of deposits and indicating that the suspension was physically unstable.
(b) The unstable 541 mg/mL suspension was returned to the mortar, 2 g of water was added, and the suspension was reground for up to 15 minutes. Water hardens the suspension; 1 g of water (3 g total) was added and milling was resumed for up to 20 minutes. The addition of water and homogenization by grinding resulted in a soft, mechanically compliant, homogeneous suspension with a concentration of LD of about 477 mg/mL (2.4M). It is plastically deformable, retains its shape when deformed, and is non-pourable at ambient temperatures of about 23 ± 2 ℃. When heated to about 37 ℃, the suspension became pourable, but only marginally pourable.
4.5 mL of the suspension were centrifuged at 5000 rpm in 15 mL of 110 mm long centrifuge tubes for up to 1 hour without causing observable deposition of LD and without causing separation of the aqueous phase from the oil phase or any other visible change in the appearance of the suspension, which remained homogeneous. The relevant centrifugal force is about 3000G, i.e. about 3000 times the acceleration of gravity.
To test whether the suspension is a water-in-oil emulsion or an oil-in-water emulsion, some suspension was added to two test tubes, one containing canola oil and the other containing water. The suspension did not disperse in canola oil, but it rapidly dispersed in water, indicating that it is an oil-in-water dispersion, i.e. its continuous phase is an aqueous phase, even though it contains much less water than oil.
Approximately 19 mL of the suspension was transferred to 20 mL of crn CRONO injectors. The density was estimated to be 1.12 g/mL, calculated by assuming that the density of LD is about 1.5 g/mL. The suspension was delivered via a 28 cm long, 2.4 mm inner diameter tube (which was coupled through the luer of a syringe) using a Crono Par pump at a flow rate of 1 mL/hour. The entire volume in the syringe is delivered, i.e. the pump is not clogged. There was no filtration or solid cake formation and the extrudate appeared to be homogeneous and did not change during the extrusion period of 18 hours during which 20.4 g of suspension was delivered. Assuming 18 mL was delivered over an 18 hour delivery period, the density of the extrudate was 1.13 g/mL, which is consistent with a calculated density of 1.12 g/mL, and this indicates that there was little or no entrapped gas in the suspension, i.e., entrapped air was removed by centrifugation.
Example 10 shows continuous extrusion without a significant change in density of 523 mg/mL (2.7M) LD suspension.
The components: LD (> 95 wt% of particles pass through 250 μm sieve openings and about 30 wt% pass through 125 μm sieve openings); canola oil (from Safeway corporation); polysorbate 60 (from Sigma company); deionized water.
Most LD is particulate, i.e. it is not dissolved.
1.43 g of polysorbate 60 was dissolved in 14.12 g of canola oil by stirring. The solution is clear, i.e., it has no suspended liquid light scatterers. 13.2 g of the solution (which contained 1.2 g of polysorbate 60 and 11.1 g of canola oil) was transferred to an approximately 100 mL mortar and 13.03 g of LD was added. The mixture was ground by hand to homogeneity within about 15 minutes, then 3 g of water was added and the mixture was ground for about 30 minutes again. During grinding, the mortar containing the mixture was periodically weighed and water was added as needed to compensate for the evaporated water. The LD concentration in the resulting suspension was about 523 mg/mL (2.7M). Assuming that the density of LD is about 1.5 g/mL, the density is about 1.17 g/mL. The suspension is not pourable at ambient temperatures of about 23 ± 2 ℃. It is soft, compliant, easily mechanically deformable, mayonnaise-like but hard, easily squeezed through a nozzle. When force is applied, it is extruded through the nozzle as a filler.
Most of the suspension was transferred to 20 mL crn CRONO injectors. To remove the large trapped bubbles, the filled syringe was warmed to about 40 ℃ and while it was held with its outlet pointing upward, the bubbles rose, coalesced at the outlet, and then were expelled. The weight of the suspension filled into the syringe to its 20 mL mark was 22.37 g, i.e., its density was about 1.12 g/mL, a calculated density of less than 1.17 g/mL, indicating that entrapped air remained.
The syringe was inserted into a can crontopar pump and a 28 cm long 2.4 mm inner diameter plastic tube was coupled to its luer lock. The pump was set to deliver at 1 mL/hour for up to 20 hours. After 5, 8, 13, and 20 hours of extrusion, the extrudates were weighed. The weight gain corresponded to what was expected to deliver a suspension density of 1.11 g/mL at a rate of 1 mL/hour for the first 13 hours, and then 1.08 g/mL for the last 7 hour period. The lower density than expected at 1.12 g/mL is attributed to water evaporation from the extrudate collection bottle exposed to air. This was not due to actual concentration changes, as no clumping, concentration, or hard LD-rich residue remained in the syringe when the 20 mL extrusion was completed and the syringe emptied.
This example shows that it is feasible to extrude a suspension comprising LD of about 523 mg/mL (2.7M) and maintain an almost constant extrudate density for up to 13 hours, the extrudate comprising edible oil, water, and also edible surfactant. It also shows that the density can be constant, within about ± 1.4% or less, over a 20 hour extrusion period.
Example 11 shows that a suspension containing 625 mg/mL (3.17M) LD and 156 mg/mL (0.74M) CD is physically stable when centrifuged at 16000G for up to 1 hour and it is also physically stable at 60 ℃ for up to 24 hours.
The components: LD (D)50About 75 μm, D90About 200 μm). CD (D)95About 100 μm, D80About 45 μm); polysorbate 60 (Sigma Aldrich catalog # 95754-F); miglyol 812 (Peter corper of cincinnati, ohio); tert-Butyl Hydroxyanisole (BHA) antioxidant FCC (Spectrum, XV 3021); deionized water.
Most LD and most CD are particulate, i.e. they are not dissolved. The composition includes 50.0 wt% (w/w) LD; 12.5 wt% CD; 24.4 wt% Miglyol 812; 5% by weight of polysorbate 60; and 8.0 wt% water. It is prepared as follows: (a) mixing LD (5 g) and CD (1.25 g) powders for 15 minutes to homogenize; (b) mixing polysorbate 60 (0.5 g) with deionized water (0.8 g), warming the mixture to about 60 ℃ and homogenizing by thorough mixing; (c) the LD and CD powder mixture of (a) and 10 mg BHA were added to the polysorbate 60 and water of (b) and mixed thoroughly. The mixture was kept at ambient temperature for up to 4 hours; (d) after 4 hours, 2.44 g of Miglyol 812 containing 10 mg of BHA was added, mixed thoroughly, and the mixture was then aged at ambient temperature for at least 2 hours.
Upon centrifugation at about 16000G (G is gravity at about sea level) for 1 hour, there was no significant deposition of solid drug particles, nor any significant phase separation of oil and water, indicating a shelf-life physical stability of up to about 22 months at 1G and room temperature. The suspension also remained unchanged, i.e. homogenized, after 24 hours of storage at about 25 ℃, 40 ℃ and 60 ℃.
Example 12. a deformable filler material for separating propellant from suspension is described.
For a removable charge that can replace the piston in the device, where the formulation is delivered into the mouth by approximately constant pressure of the propellant, a paste is made from 2 g of graphite (Timrex SFG44 from wiltselk Timcal, ohio) mixed with 6 g of Fomblin Y (Sigma). The filler may be impermeable to the propellant and also to the formulation containing the drug.
Example 13 shows that the carrier emulsion may be physically unstable without solid drug particles and that the suspension is physically stable by the addition of solid drug particles.
(a) The first phase separates, an emulsion that is unstable in the absence of solid drug particles.
An emulsion was made by dissolving warmed 0.8 g of Kolliphor RH 60 in 1.5 g of water, then adding 4.6 g of canola oil and shaking. After 1 hour at room temperature, a portion of the emulsion underwent significant phase separation even without centrifugation.
(b) The second phase separates and is an emulsion that is unstable in the absence of solid drug particles.
An emulsion was made by dissolving 0.8 g of polysorbate 60 in 4.6 g of canola oil, then adding 1.5 g of water and shaking. The emulsion was strongly light-scattering, making it milky and tacky. After at least 12 hours at room temperature, it did not undergo significant phase separation, but when centrifuged at 10000 rpm in a 10 cm long test tube for up to 10 minutes, it underwent phase separation, i.e., it was physically unstable.
(c) To test whether the dissolved (non-solid) LD and CD would stabilize the second emulsion, water was replaced with an aqueous solution saturated in LD and CD. The emulsion was strongly light-scattering, making it milky and tacky. After at least 12 hours at room temperature, it did not undergo significant phase separation, but phase separation was observed when centrifugation was carried out at 10000 rpm in a 10 cm long test tube for up to 10 minutes. Saturating the phase of the emulsion with LD and CD does not prevent phase separation when centrifugation is performed for 10 minutes.
(d) As shown in example 11, suspensions made from the emulsion of (b) or (c) but containing 625 mg/mL (3.17M) LD and 156 mg/mL (0.74M) CD were stable when centrifuged at 16000G for up to 1 hour and also stable at 60 ℃ for up to 24 hours.

To assess stability, buffers and suspensions were prepared following the protocol: 290 mg of 85% phosphoric acid was added to a 50-mL Falcon tube; diluted to about 80% of the tube volume with deionized water; adjusting the pH to 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, or 7.0 with 5N NaOH; the solution was diluted to the desired volume of 50 mL with deionized water. Alternatively, 75 mg of EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) was dissolved and its pH was adjusted to 2.5 or 5.0 by 5N NaOH; 150 mg of glacial acetic acid was added to a 50-mL Falcon tube, diluted to 80% of the tube volume with deionized water, and the pH was adjusted to 4.0 by 5N NaOH; the solution was diluted to the desired volume of 50 mL with deionized water. Alternatively, 480 mg of citric acid was added to a 50 mL Falcon tube and dissolved in about 40 mL deionized water, the pH was adjusted to 6.0 by 5N NaOH, and the solution was diluted with deionized water to the desired volume of 50 mL.
To make the suspension, 9.00 g of micronized LD and 2.25 g of micronized CD were added to 50 mL Falcon tubes, tumble mixed for up to 15 minutes to create a homogeneous mixture of the two drugs, then 750 mg of the LD-CD mixture was added to each of a set of 1.5 mL Eppendorf tubes, and enough vehicle was added to bring the total weight in each tube to 1.25 g. After mixing with a BeadBeater (BB) for up to 2X 2 minutes, the pH was recorded and the tubes were incubated at 60 ℃ for physical and chemical stability testing by removing samples after 0, 1, and 2 weeks. For each sample removed, the appearance and pH were recorded, then the contents were diluted to 0.5 mg/mL and the vial containing the sample weighed. The contents of each vial were then analyzed by HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography). The HPLC peaks for drug and impurities were recorded. The areas of all impurities combined as a percentage of drug are summarized in table 9, showing the impurity peak area percentage (%) of the total drug peak area.

Overall, the contribution of impurities to the total peak area was less than < 0.1%, indicating good chemical stability. Formulations F13 (comprising glycerol) and F14 (comprising PEG 600) contained more impurities after their maturation than the other formulations, i.e., they were chemically less stable. Hydrazine levels were below target levels (1.6. mu.g/mg of combined LD and CD weight), which were below the hydrazine exposure limit of Duodopa ™.
Example 15 chemical stability of a formulation comprising solid LD and CD dispersed in oil with various surfactants is shown, as well as the addition of water associated with an increase in hydrazine formation and with a color change indicating air oxidation.
The components: such as those LD, CD, Miglyol 812, Kolliphor RH 40 (also known as Cremophor RH 40), and water in example 11. Other components are as follows: polysorbate 60 (NF); vitamin e (tpgs); hydrogenated soybean lecithin (LIPOID SPC 3); poloxamer 188; glyceryl monostearate; polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), stearic acid, propylene glycol, and canola oil.
The formulations prepared and tested are summarized in table 11 and table 12. The values in the box of table 11 are the weight percent of the components of the formulation, and the values in table 12 are the weight (in mg) per 1.2 g of formulation. QS in table 12 indicates "an amount sufficient to make 1.2 g when added to other ingredients".

The formulation was prepared as follows: the LD and CD were weighted into 50 mL Falcon tubes at a 4:1 weight/weight ratio and then mixed well by tumble mixing for up to 15 minutes. 750 mg of the mixture of 4:1 (weight/weight) LD and CD were transferred to a 1.5 mL Eppendorf bottle and the weight was recorded. In a second tube, 600 mg of surfactant was mixed well with 3900 mg of Miglyol 812. 450 mg of the surfactant-Miglyol mixture was added to an Eppendorf tube containing 760 mg of LD and CD and the weight was recorded, mixed until homogeneous, warmed to 60 ℃ to complete the mixing, and the two mixing steps were repeated. Each mixing was performed in a beadbeater (bb), was 2 minutes in duration, and was repeated.
In formulation F16, 600 mg of surfactant, 940 mg of deionized water, and 2960 mg of Miglyol 812 were mixed well in an empty Eppendorf tube, warmed to 60 ℃ to complete mixing, mixed using a beadbeater (bb), twice for 2 minutes.
The formulation was transferred to a new Eppendorf bottle and the reference bottle was stored at 2-8 ℃ while the test bottle was stored at 60 ℃. After one week of storage at 60 ℃, the test samples were examined for color change (which indicates oxidation) and analyzed by HPLC for impurities, the impurity concentrations of which were compared to those of a reference bottle stored at 2-8 ℃. The results are summarized in table 13.
The hydrazine concentration significantly increased in formulations F16 and F25 containing water when stored at 60 ℃ for 1 week. These formulations, as well as formulations including propylene glycol, also changed their color, indicating that water and propylene glycol promoted the rate of air oxidation of the colored product relative to the rate in oil, indicating that primarily or exclusively dissolved LD and/or CD was air oxidized. In most formulations made with 2 oils and 7 surfactants, the impurity levels remained very low. The results also identify a variety of surfactants that are potentially suitable for use in the suspensions of the present invention.
Table 13 impurities in pharmaceutical formulations
Example 16 shows that a novel physically and chemically stable, extrudable suspension was found to contain 62.5 wt% drug.
The components: LD, CD, Miglyol 812, and water of those of example 11; other components are as follows: polysorbate 60 (NF, Spectrum, 1CK 0247), canola oil (Spectrum, 1DK 0517), and BHA antioxidant (Spectrum, XV 3021).
The formulations (in mg per 1.5 g of the prepared suspension) are listed in table 14. The weight/weight ratio of oil (Miglyol 812 or canola oil) to polysorbate was constantly 6.5: 1.
Suspension prepared in Table 14
The suspension was prepared as follows:
a50 mM, pH 2.7 buffer solution of sodium phosphate was prepared.
750 mg of the LD and CD mixture was added to each of a series of 1.5 mL Eppendorf bottles, the added mixture including 600 mg of LD and 150 mg of CD, followed by the addition of Miglyol 812 or canola oil containing polysorbate 60 (the amounts of which are shown in Table 14). Next, deionized water or 50 mM phosphate buffer pH 2.7 was added in the amounts shown in Table 14, and then the components were mixed using a BeadBeater (2X 2 min.). For formulation F35 (but not for the other formulations), the water was evaporated in vacuo, leaving 40 mg out of the initial 210 mg of water.
Next, 1.5 g of the formulation in each Eppendorf bottle was divided, i.e. 750 mg were transferred to a second Eppendorf bottle. One of the vials of each formulation was closed and stored at 60 ℃ and the second vial was centrifuged at 13000 rpm at 25 ℃ providing an acceleration of 16060G (16060 times the sea level gravity) for up to 1 hour.
After checking the phase separation, 15 mg of sample was withdrawn from the top and bottom layers of each centrifuged suspension and transferred to a 15 mL Falcon tube containing a 0.01N dilution of phosphoric acid for HPLC analysis in order to determine if the top and bottom layers of 16060G centrifuged suspensions differ in their LD or CD concentration.
Then, after 1 week of storage at 60 ℃, the same centrifugation test and analysis were performed on each suspension.
When an attempt was made to manually extrude suspension F35 from a filled 1.0 mL syringe using a 16 gauge 26 mm long nozzle, clogging was observed. In the same test, there was no blockage in the other suspensions, i.e. in each case all 1 mL in the syringe passed through the nozzle.
Suspensions F16 (containing 8 wt% water), F29 (containing 4 wt% water), F30 (containing 6 wt% water), and F36 (containing 8 wt% water) all showed no phase separation upon centrifugation. Of these, F16, F29, and F30 were made from Miglyol 812, while F36 was made from canola oil. Suspension F34 was similar to F16 except that its pH was 2.7.
The analysis of the samples taken from the top and bottom layers of the centrifuged suspensions F16, F34, and F36 after 1 week of storage at 60 ℃ is provided in table 15.
The estimated density and drug concentration in the suspension without sedimentation or phase separation at 16060G centrifugation for up to 1 hour were as follows:
● had an estimated density of about 1.24 g/mL at about 25 deg.C, suspension F16 contained about 621 mg/mL LD and about 155 mg/mL CD, i.e., the respective molarities of LD and CD were 3.15M and 0.73M.
● had an estimated density of about 1.24 g/mL at about 25 deg.C, suspension F29 contained about 619 mg/mL of LD and about 155 mg/mL of CD, i.e., the respective molarities of LD and CD were 3.14M and 0.73M.
● had an estimated density of about 1.24 g/mL at about 25 deg.C, suspension F30 contained about 620 mg/mL LD and about 155 mg/mL CD, i.e., the respective molarities of LD and CD were 3.15M and 0.73M.
● had an estimated density of about 1.23 g/mL at about 25 deg.C, suspension F36 contained about 613 mg/mL LD and about 153 mg/mL CD, i.e., the respective molarities of LD and CD were 3.11M and 0.72M.
● suspension F34 was similar to F16 except that its pH was 2.7.
In suspensions stored at 60 ℃ for one week, formulations F16, F34, and F36 showed no significant phase separation after centrifugation at 16060G for up to 1 hour. Importantly, there was no significant difference in LD and CD concentration of the top and bottom layers of F16 and F36 after centrifugation, making it the preferred composition in this series. It has a water content of about 8% by weight, an oil content of about 25% by weight, a surfactant content of about 4% by weight, and it contains about 62.5% by weight of the drug. The suspension also contained 0.1 wt.% antioxidant.

For preparation, 15.0 g of LD and 3.75 g of CD were mixed in a 50 mL Falcon tube for 15 minutes to homogeneity. Mixing 75 mg of polysorbate 60 or 63 mg of cremophor (kolliphor) RH40 in Eppendorf tubes with 120 mg of deionized water, warming to about 60 ℃, and mixing by vortexing; 937.5 mg of LD + CD mixture in a Falcon tube was added and the mixture was homogenized using a BeadBeater for two times for up to 2 minutes, then allowed to stand at about 25 ℃ for 4 hours, after which Miglyol 812 or canola oil was added. Next, 1.5 mg of BHA was added and the mixture was homogenized twice using a BeadBeater for up to 2 minutes each. The suspension was then divided into 3 portions of 0.5 g each. One part was kept at 25 ℃, a second part at 40 ℃ and a third part at 60 ℃ for up to 2 hours. All were centrifuged at 13000 rpm (giving an acceleration of 16060G) at 25 ℃ for up to 1 hour and checked for phase separation and sedimentation. Next, 15 mg of the top layer and 15 mg of the bottom layer of the centrifuged suspension were transferred to a 15 mL Falcon tube for HPLC analysis as described in the previous example.
After maturation at any of the three temperatures 25 ℃, 40 ℃, or 60 ℃, there was no visually observable phase separation in the centrifuged suspension F16 made from Miglyol 812 and polysorbate 60. However, phase separation was observed in all of the centrifuged F37 made by Miglyol 812 and cremophor (kolliphor) RH 40. The suspension of F36 made from canola oil and polysorbate 60 did not phase separate on centrifugation after maturation for 24 hours at 60 ℃, but did phase separate after maturation for 24 hours at two lower temperatures, 25 ℃ and 40 ℃, indicating that maturation for 24 hours at 60 ℃ stabilized the suspension F36, but did not stabilize it at 25 ℃ or 40 ℃.

The F16 formulation had no taste, which is a desirable feature.
Example 18 shows that a suspension comprising 625 mg/mL (3.17M) LD, 156 mg/mL (0.74M) CD, and poloxamer 188 surfactant is physically stable when centrifuged at about 16000G for 1 hour, chemically stable at 60 ℃ for up to 24 hours, has a low rate of hydrazine formation, and is odorless.
The components: LD (D)50About 75 mum,D90About 200 μm). CD (D)95About 100 μm, D80About 45 μm); poloxamer 188 (NF BAS WPDX-577B); miglyol 812 (Peter corper of cincinnati, ohio); tert-Butyl Hydroxyanisole (BHA) antioxidant FCC (Spectrum, XV 3021); deionized water.
Most of the LD and most of the CD in the suspension are particulate, i.e. they are not dissolved. The suspension comprises 50.0 wt% (w/w) LD; 12.5 wt% CD; 24.4 wt% Miglyol 812; 5% by weight of poloxamer 188; and 8.0 wt% water. It is prepared as follows: (a) mixing LD (5 g) and CD (1.25 g) powders for 15 minutes to homogenize; (b) poloxamer 188 (0.5 g) was mixed with deionized water (0.8 g), the mixture was warmed to about 60 ℃ and homogenized by thorough mixing; (c) the LD and CD powder mixture of (a) and 10 mg BHA were added to the poloxamer 188 and water of (b) and mixed thoroughly. The mixture was kept at ambient temperature for up to 4 hours; (d) after 4 hours, 2.44 g of Miglyol 812 containing 10 mg of BHA was added, mixed thoroughly, and the mixture was then aged at ambient temperature for at least 2 hours, then centrifuged. At 13000 rpm, providing an acceleration of about 16000G (G is gravity at about sea level), for 1 hour of centrifugation, there was no significant deposition of solid drug particles, nor any significant phase separation of oil and water, indicating a shelf-life physical stability of up to about 22 months at 1G and room temperature. The suspension also remained unchanged, i.e. homogenized, after 24 hours of storage at about 25 ℃, 40 ℃ and 60 ℃.
After centrifugation of the suspension stored at about 25 ℃ for 2 hours or more, the top and bottom layers were analyzed for LD, CD, and hydrazine. The difference in LD and CD content is less than about 2% and within the resolution limits of the analysis. The hydrazine concentration was only slightly higher than 0.52. mu.g/mg of the combined LD and CD weight in the freshly made suspension. Hydrazine concentrations increased only to 0.56. mu.g/mg and 0.61. mu.g/mg in the top and bottom layers, respectively, well below the upper target limit of 1.6. mu.g/gm. The composition is odorless.

The composition includes 50.0 wt% (w/w) LD; 12.5 wt% CD; 24.4 wt% Miglyol 812; 5% by weight Cremophor RH 40; and 8.0 wt% water. It is prepared as follows: (a) mixing LD (5 g) and CD (1.25 g) powders for 15 minutes to homogenize; (b) cremophor RH40 (0.5 g) was mixed with deionized water (0.8 g), the mixture was warmed to about 60 ℃ and homogenized by thorough mixing; (c) the LD and CD powder mixture of (a) and 10 mg BHA were added to Cremophor RH40 and water of (b) and mixed thoroughly. The mixture was kept at ambient temperature for up to 4 hours; (d) after 4 hours, 2.44G of Miglyol 812 containing 10 mg of BHA was added, mixed thoroughly, and the mixture was then aged at ambient temperature for at least 2 hours and centrifuged at 13000 rpm providing an acceleration of about 16000G. There was no visible sign of deposition of solid drug particles nor any visible sign of phase separation of oil and water when centrifuged at about 16000G (G is gravity at about sea level) for 1 hour, indicating a shelf-life physical stability of up to about 22 months at 1G and room temperature. The suspension also remained unchanged, i.e. homogenized, after 24 hours of storage at about 25 ℃, 40 ℃ and 60 ℃. After centrifugation of the composition stored at about 25 ℃ for 2 hours, the top and bottom layers were analyzed for LD, CD, and hydrazine. The difference in LD and CD content is less than about 2%, within the resolution limits of the assay. The hydrazine concentration was only slightly higher than the initial 0.52. mu.g/mg of LD and CD combined weight. The corresponding hydrazine concentrations in the top and bottom layers of the centrifuged composition were only 0.67. mu.g/mg and 0.60. mu.g/mg of the combined LD and CD weight, well below the upper target limit of 1.6. mu.g/gm. After one week of storage at 60 ℃, the hydrazine concentration is still only 0.76 μ g/mg of the combined LD and CD weight. Furthermore, after one week of storage at 60 ℃, the concentration of all other impurities as measured by the percentage of their HPLC peaks was less than 0.05%. The formulation had an acceptable, slightly bitter taste.

Example 43. shape and size of an exemplary model of an intraoral drug pump is shown.
Testing of the comfort of various pump models (which may include about 0.8 mL of LD/CD paste pharmaceutical composition) on volunteers indicated that for comfort of wear, the surfaces must be free of sharp corners or edges, i.e., edges and corners should be approximately rounded; furthermore, the surfaces, especially those in contact with the buccal surface, should be smooth. The pump model, which is diagonally circular in shape and has a LD/CD paste pharmaceutical composition volume of 0.81 mL, is particularly comfortable to wear and does not substantially change the appearance of the face. The width of the pump (its dimension outward from the vestibular face of the teeth) is of paramount importance for comfort, followed by its length. When the pump spans the third tooth (i.e., more than two teeth) and these teeth are even slightly out of alignment, there is a visible change in the appearance of the wearer's face. Tests on four persons showed that a 0.27 "wide, 0.50" high, and 0.95 "long angled circular pump attached to the teeth was particularly comfortable, did not interfere with speech, did not interfere with swallowing food or beverages, and did not substantially alter the appearance of the wearer's face.
Example 44 welding a silver diaphragm to a titanium housing to form a hermetically sealed chamber with a port is described.
A hermetically sealed test cell of an oblique circular shape was fabricated. The inclined circular airtight sealing unit is 0.27 ' wide, 0.50 ' high, and 0.95 ' long. Its shell was grade 2 titanium and its 0.50 "x 0.95", 0.03 mm thick diaphragm was an industrial pure, fully annealed silver foil. As shown in fig. 27, the hermetically sealed chamber may be formed by resistance welding Ti-Ag-Ti (under ambient air and without flux) where the edges (i.e., flanges) of the silver foil diaphragm are welded. A resistance braze sampling sheet 106 is welded to the silver film 90. To perform resistance welding, a series of pulses of unequal current and unequal duration are passed through the Ti-Ag-Ti structure while the components are pressed together. Only the shortest and the largest current pulses will melt a part or most of the silver membrane edge; it does not melt most of the silver diaphragm nor the titanium shell.
Example 45. shape, formation methods, and materials of an example diaphragm are described.
To evaluate the formability of the diaphragm, pure silver sheets with thicknesses of 0.025 and 0.03 mm were taken, and the die block, cover plate, and punch were designed to form the diaphragm according to the schematic diagram of fig. 28.
The diaphragm was also made using the tool shown in fig. 29. The diaphragm is slightly oversized to allow for rebound. It was also made from a 0.03 mm thick commercial pure, fully annealed silver foil. The silver foil sheet was cut to the approximate size of the surface of the tool, placed on the surface of the tool, and forced into the cavity by pressing the flat surface of the tool. The silver foil is made to conform to the bottom of the tool by pressing the tool as the workpiece rotates. After stamping, some membranes have creased text at their edges (i.e., at their flanges), as seen in the photograph of fig. 30. In order to straighten the pleat text (i.e. to reduce its height), the edges are flattened by embossing. The septum was then tested to see if there was no light passing through the pinhole or slit and then trimmed along the groove of the tool shown in fig. 29 using a razor blade.
Example 46 welding a titanium housing component and a titanium foil to form a hermetically sealed chamber is shown.
The test casing was machined from grade 2 titanium and the diaphragm was made from a 0.05 mm thick sheet of commercially pure, fully annealed silver foil. The test housing contains fittings that allow for a hermeticity test to be performed, as shown in fig. 31.
A bench-top medium frequency inverter Amada Miyachi resistance welder was used. The pre-welding current pulse is passed through before the welding current pulse is applied. The duration of the pre-welding current pulse is 40 times longer than the welding current pulse and its current is 45% of the welding current pulse. After a brief welding current pulse was applied, the now bonded parts were annealed in an oven at 600 ℃ for 30 minutes and then allowed to cool to room temperature in 45 minutes or more. To test the hermeticity of the welds of the chambers, each chamber was connected by its port to a helium leak detector called a "sniffer" according to the U.S. military standard MIL-STD-750E hermetic seal test (i.e., leak test). Each of the five cell pass tests showed hermetic sealing and "time to exchange 50% of atmosphere" 17.6 years "for the diaphragm of the present specification, i.e., there was no detectable leak through the diaphragm or through the titanium/silver joint (i.e., welding).
Example 47. incomplete delivery and variation in extrusion rate by a pump without a grooved drug chamber wall is shown.
A reusable test tool, referred to as a "test bed," is fabricated as shown in fig. 32. It simulates a pump and measures flow rates for different formulations of LD/CD pharmaceutical compositions at different gas pressures using flow control nozzles of different inner diameters and lengths. The test bed comprised two blocks sized in a beveled circular pump geometry, separated by a diaphragm, the blocks and diaphragm being pressed together to prevent leakage of the LD/CD paste pharmaceutical composition and gas. The block of the test bed comprises two identical cavities in the housing of the propellant chamber 103 and the drug chamber 104, one cavity 103 having a port for the utilization of a gas (usually CO) 2) The pressurisation is performed so as to simulate the pressure from the propellant and the other cavity 104 contains a port 105 and nozzle 98 for the outlet of the medicament formulation.
The two cavities sandwich a 0.030 mm thick pinhole-free silver diaphragm. The silver diaphragm was prepared by manually pressing a 0.030 mm silver sheet into a mold (which simulates the drug cavity side of a pump). The diaphragm is placed into the medicament cavity, the medicament is then injected thereunder until the cavity is filled, and then the flow control nozzle is attached.
The weight of the extruded LD/CD paste pharmaceutical composition was monitored using an analytical balance. The following figures show the typical time dependence of the extrusion quality. In specific experiments, propelling CO was described2Is kept constant at 80 psi and a 20 mm long, 0.51 mm inner diameter polyethylene terephthalate nozzle is attached. Fig. 33 is a graph of the amount of pharmaceutical composition delivered versus time and shows that the slope is not constant during extrusion over 100 minutes, i.e., the extrusion rate is not constant. The non-constant flow rate in the same experiment is also shown in fig. 34, where the time dependence of the flow rate is plotted.
The drug is not only delivered non-linearly, but also not completely from the drug reservoir. Fig. 35 shows the drug remaining in the drug chamber after the drug has stopped flowing from the pump.
Example 48 shows less variability in flow rate and a greater portion of the drug delivered when the drug chamber walls are grooved.
The experiment of example 47 was repeated, but with flow channel forming grooves in the housing wall of the chamber containing the LD/CD medicament. The channel is designed such that: when the membrane collapses into the chamber containing the drug, a path is provided for the drug to flow. As the drug empties, the septum will typically be in contact with the bottom of the housing, thus preventing or slowing the flow of the fluid comprising the drug from a portion of the chamber, i.e., trapping the fluid comprising the drug between the collapsed septum and the walls of the chamber. The photograph of fig. 36 shows a groove 99 in the housing wall of the drug-containing chamber 104 of the test bed. As seen in fig. 37, the grooves improve the constancy of the flow rate of the paste comprising the LD/CD, but do not make it practically constant. As seen in fig. 38, the time dependence of the flow rate is plotted, with the flow rate continuing to decrease during the 160 minute run.
Example 49. shows an approximately constant delivery rate of a composition comprising a drug and almost complete delivery of the drug in the chamber when the flow channel in the chamber is a flow control conduit.
The test tool (test bed) was similar to the test tool of example 47, but now included two tubular flow channels 98, as shown in fig. 39. The conduit also serves as a flow rate control nozzle. Its inner diameter is about 0.36 mm and its length is about 40 mm. The conduit is positioned in a groove 97, the groove 97 being cut in the housing of the propellant chamber 103 and the medicament chamber 104 and extending to the outside of the housing. The flow rate (controlled by tubing or nozzles) is now maintained at a constant flow rate of about 2.2 mg/min. Fig. 40 shows a typical mass versus time flow during a period of 5.5 hours. The time dependence of the flow rate shown in fig. 41 confirms that the flow rate is now constant, within ± 7.5%.
Example 50 shows a lower rate of galvanic corrosion in a titanium-silver joint.
In the absence of air or oxygen, metals can corrode by reacting with water. Etching ofOxidation reactions by which the metal is oxidized to its oxide or hydroxide and reduction reactions by which water is reduced to molecular hydrogen or metal hydroxide are required. Since the currents associated with these two rates are equal, the corrosion rate of a particular metal can be lower where oxidation or hydrogen evolution is slower. If two different metals are in contact, the less noble metal is oxidized, while the more noble metal is reduced to its hydride or produces H 2. The oxidation rate of the less noble metal may depend on its passivating oxide or hydroxide layer, which may slow or prevent mass transport between solution and metal. The rate of corrosion depends on the pH of the composition, which is typically 4. + -.1 for an extruded LD/CD paste pharmaceutical composition. To evaluate the corrosion rate, the contact area of the solution in a buffer solution of citric acid (made of trisodium citrate and citric acid) at pH 4 of 0.1M under air and under nitrogen at about 23. + -. 3 ℃ after about 24 hours of maturation (simultaneous short-circuiting) in the buffer solution without addition of carbidopa and with addition of sufficient carbidopa to saturate the solution was about 2 cm2The short-circuited electrode pair of (a) measures the current flowing between them. The results are summarized in table 20.

The surface of the tin is noticeably roughened, probably because of the reduction to tin hydride. The surfaces of titanium, silver, and 316 stainless steel appear to be unchanged. The data show that the corrosion is much faster for pairs with tin than for pairs with silver. The data indicate that corrosion of the 316 stainless steel-silver pair may be acceptable. However, the least corrosive pair was a titanium/silver pair, indicating that the joint formed from these two metals (e.g., titanium with silver soldered) did not corrode appreciably.

Example 53. clinical trials delivering LD/CD suspensions frequently intermittently to patients with advanced parkinson's disease.
The clinical trial was an open, single-center study of 18 Parkinson's disease patients who experienced a disabling time of 2 hours or more per day on their regular anti-PD drug treatment. Standard intermittent intraoral LD/CD genistein tablets were compared to the same total dose of LD/CD suspension delivered to the oral cavity every 5-10 minutes using an intraoral syringe. The LD/CD suspension was prepared by dispersing the genistein tablets in a small amount of water. Patients entered the clinic on the first day for baseline assessment. On the next day ("control day"), a commercially available LD/CD tablet was dosed as LD/CD under the pre-baseline dosing regimen for each patient. Plasma concentrations of levodopa were repeatedly measured during the course of 8 hours, as well as the time of remission and time of disability. On the third day ("PK day"), LD/CD suspension was dosed intraorally every 5-10 minutes during a period of 8 hours at a dose equal to the standard intraoral total dose of LD/CD consumed by the patient during the same 8 hours on the "control day" and plasma levels of levodopa were obtained. On the fourth day ("the efficacy day"), each patient received its first LD/CD morning dose as an intraoral tablet, which was the same as the first morning dose on the "control day". It then receives its 8 hour total dose on the "control day" in balance by intraorally administering the LD/CD suspension every 5-10 minutes during a period of 8 hours. The time to remission and time to disability were assessed as on the next day. The patient was then discharged to the clinic for their standard medication and returned on day eighteen for safety assessment.
Defining the primary endpoint as the variability of levodopa concentration; the standard intermittent oral dosing and the semi-continuous oral dosing are compared. Pharmacokinetic endpoints include linear deviation and mean levodopa fluctuation index ((C)max-Cmin)/Caverage). Neurologists were based on assessments of motor status and dyskinesia at 30 minute intervals over an 8 hour period and efficacy was measured by UPDRS (unified parkinson's disease rating scale) section iii, with assessments being made at 0, 2, 4, and 8 hours on the "control day" (second day) and "efficacy day" (fourth day).
The measured safety parameters include physical examination, nervous system examination, ECG (electrocardiogram), vital signs, blood and urine laboratory assessments, and intraoral location assessment by neurologists and patients.

Example 54 chemical stability of diluted, commercially available Duodopa LD/CD gel for enteral infusion.
In animal studies, hydrazine showed significant systemic toxicity, especially upon inhalation. Hydrazine is also hepatotoxic, has CNS toxicity (although not described after oral treatment), and is genotoxic as well as carcinogenic. Therefore, it is important to minimize hydrazine formation during storage of CD or LD/CD formulations.
Duodopa @ (sold as Duopa in the United states), an LD/CD suspension for continuous intraduodenal infusion, degrades during storage and produces hydrazine. The recommended average daily dose of Duodopa is 100 mL, containing 2 g of levodopa and 0.5 g of CD. The recommended maximum daily dose is 200 mL. According to the label, this includes an average exposure of hydrazine of up to 4 mg per day, with a maximum of 8 mg per day. To meet these exposure limits, the label of Duodopa requires frozen storage in the united states and its shelf life is 12 weeks of refrigeration (after thawing). The concentrations of LD and CD in Duodopa were 20 mg/mL and 5 mg/mL, respectively.
Six packs of sealed 100 mL commercial Duodopa were purchased and stored according to the storage method in the label. Wherein the concentration of hydrazine in the triple packet was measured by HPLC immediately upon thawing (t = 0) and provided concentrations of 547 μ g, 676 μ g, and 662 μ g of hydrazine per gram of LD + CD (mean =629 μ g hydrazine/g LD + CD). The hydrazine concentrations of the remaining three packets were measured after 12 weeks of refrigerated storage at 2-8 ℃ and provided concentrations of 3653 μ g, 3725 μ g, and 3729 μ g of hydrazine per gram of LD + CD (mean =3702 μ g hydrazine/g LD + CD).
EXAMPLE 55 Excellent stability of concentrated LD/CD suspensions in the emulsions of the present invention.
Three LD/CD suspensions of the invention (identified by labels F16C, F41C, and F46C) were prepared according to the compositions of table 24, packaged into glass vials, and stable at five storage temperatures as follows: -20 ℃, 2-8 ℃, 25 ℃, 30 ℃ and 40 ℃. Vials were prepared and the formulations were stored under air and nitrogen blanket. The physical and chemical stability of the samples was evaluated at t =0, 1, 2, 3, and 6 months.

Physical stability was assessed by centrifugation at about 16000G (G is gravity at about sea level) for 1 hour, which would indicate a shelf-life physical stability at 1G of up to about 22 months. If there is no significant deposition of solid drug particles, nor any significant phase separation of oil and water, the sample passes the test. The results of the centrifugation test are shown in table 25. F16C and F46C were physically stable when stored refrigerated for 6 months. F41C was physically stable when stored at 2-8 deg.C, 25 deg.C, 30 deg.C, and 40 deg.C for 6 months.

M = number of months, F = failure, P = pass.
Chemical stability was assessed by the amount of hydrazine in the sample as measured by HPLC. Table 26 provides the measured amounts of hydrazine, expressed as μ g hydrazine per gram LD + CD. For samples stored in nitrogen-capped vials, hydrazine at 6 months for F16C, F41C, and F46C was 89 μ g, 391 μ g, and 142 μ g, respectively, hydrazine per gram of LD + CD. In contrast to the average 3702 μ g hydrazine per gram LD + CD found in Duodopa after 12 weeks of storage, only 7 μ g and 9 μ g hydrazine per gram LD + CD were found in F41C and F46C, respectively, after 3 months of storage at 2-8 ℃ under a nitrogen blanket.
Comparing these results with those of example 53, the inventive formulation contained 400X times less hydrazine than the commercially available Duodopa product after storage under the same conditions.

Table 27 provides the apparent pH values of the formulations at t =0, 1, 2, and 3 months during the stability study. As can be seen from the data, the pH was less than pH 5 and still less than pH 5 after 3 months of storage at 25 ℃.
